Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh is confident Vietnam’s growth will exceed expectations this year and retain the title of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing economy through next year, as it emerges from the Covid-19 pandemic.
He expects gross domestic product to rise 8% in 2022 -- beating the government’s target of 6%-6.5% and faster than the median 7.3% pace estimated in a Bloomberg survey -- and expand 6.5% in the following year.
