Director of HIDS suggests spending up to VND40 trillion to support businesses

Vietnam has suffered huge economic losses in the past two years. In 2020, economic growth was expected to be 6.8 percent, but it was only 2.9 percent for the whole year. In 2021, the economic growth target is 6 percent, but the actual achievement will possibly be not higher than 3 percent. It means that within two years, the country has lost about 7 percent of its GDP (GDP is currently about US$343 billion), equivalent to a loss of nearly $24 billion. Mr. Tran Hoang Ngan, Director of the HCMC Institute for Development Studies (HIDS) stated.
