HANOI

VIETNAM'S economy dipped slightly in the third quarter year-on-year, data showed on Thursday, but analysts say the communist country will remain one of South-east Asia's star performers.

GDP growth in the three months to September hit 6.4 per cent, down from 6.81 per cent in the same period in 2015, the Government Statistics Office said in a statement.
