(VOVworld) – The National Financial Supervisory Committee has forecast that Vietnam’s economic growth in the first quarter of this year will be 5.4% and the yearly target of 6.2% will be feasible. Economists, however, said that economic restructuring, settling public debts, and removing obstacles to businesses will remain challenges to Vietnam’s economic growth this year.

Associate professor Tran Dinh Thien, Director of the Vietnam Economics Institute, said: “We should clarify issues of economic restructuring. It’s essential to have accurate evaluations of difficulties so as to devise appropriate solutions. We will have stronger integration commitments and the deeper we integrate into the global economy the more important it will be to restructure the economy. This will create breakthroughs for our economy.”
