Two factors have combined to cushion the blow of Covid-19 on Vietnam’s economy, at least in comparison to other economies across Asia and the world. For one, the country was successful in containing the virus. In fact, reports highlight that the last report of community transmission of Covid-19 in Vietnam was two months ago.

GDP growth benefits for the poor lessening: economist

The real figure could be even higher as it is now difficult to measure the wealth of the rich, according to the Mekong Development Institute.

Tung said the GDP growth rate is an important index that measures the development of the economy, but it is also necessary to think about who will benefit from growth. Tiếp tục đọc “GDP growth benefits for the poor lessening: economist”
