WHEN Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh addressed the opening of the second session of the 15th National Assembly last week, he provided an insight into the government's thinking on the current state of the economy.

The key takeaway from his speech was that gross domestic product (GDP) is expected to grow by between 6 and 6.5 per cent in 2022 - higher than the expected growth of between 3 and 3.5 per cent for this year.
