Vietnamese stock market to wrap up a year of historic breakthroughs

HANOI, Dec 18 (Xinhua): Few days are left until the Vietnamese stock market rounds up a year full of new records set in terms of score highs, liquidity, and market participation.

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the global economy as well as Vietnam's economy, leading to stagnated production and paralyzed services at least from time to time. Due to the pandemic, Vietnam's gross domestic product (GDP) fell 6.17 per cent in the third quarter of 2021, the biggest quarterly drop on record.
