HANOI (Vietnam News/ANN): Vietnam this year has achieved a gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 2.91 per cent, an impressive figure despite the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, according to the General Statistics Office (GSO). This year s GDP growth rate was the lowest during the 2011-20 period due to the Covid-19 pandemic. However, Vietnam s growth remains among the world’s highest, GSO director general Nguyen Thị Huong told the press on Sunday (Dec 27).
Vietnam s growth rate being among the highest in the world is testament to the determination of the Government as well as efforts by people and the business community to effectively realise the dual goals of pandemic prevention and economic recovery, Hương said.
