VTV.vn - World Bank in Vietnam Acting Country Director Sebastian Eckardt said Vietnam’s medium-term economic outlook remains positive at a press conference on Thursday in Hanoi.

He said Vietnam’s GDP is projected to reach 6.3% this year and 6.4% during the 2018-2019 period.  The World Bank’s latest report on the Vietnamese economy identified the country’s fundamental driving forces for growth, including domestic demand and manufacturing industry.

Vietnam still faces long-term challenges of maintaining a high growth rate and achieving sustainable poverty reduction.
