HANOI: Vietnam’s economy should get back to gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 6.8% next year, which will be driven by a return of strong foreign direct investment (FDI) into the market, mainly focusing on the manufacturing sector, according to HSBC Vietnam chief executive officer (CEO) Tim Evans.
This would benefit Vietnam’s exports, especially as free trade agreements that have been signed over the past two years start to bear fruit, according to the CEO.
