Vietnam's economic growth has been stable despite the negativity surrounding international trade. The World Bank's Country Director for Vietnam, Ousmane Dione, made these remarks at the opening of the press conference on Tuesday that was organized to announce the publication of "Taking Stock", an annual report on Vietnam's economy.
This strong increase coupled with Vietnam's complicated non-tariff measures have raised the World Bank's concerns about the risk of trade restrictions and the weakening of Vietnam's national competitiveness.
