Tim Leelahaphan, the bank’s economist for Vietnam and Thailand, said that Vietnam's economy remains strong and the country is proving to be one of the world’s best performing economies amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Vietnam began its COVID-19 vaccination campaign on March 8, with about one million people, mostly frontline health workers. Expanding the campaign is a key condition for reopening tourism and promoting sustainable economic recovery, he said.
Other specialists of the British multinational banking and financial services company said that rapid economic growth may boost inflation and rising world food prices are also affecting domestic inflation. They forecast inflation in Vietnam at 3.8% this year.
