Vietnam annual economic report released

The report was conducted by the Vietnam Centre for Economic and Policy Research (VEPR) under the University of Economics and Business, Vietnam National University-Hanoi, and the Australian Embassy in Hanoi.

The report includes seven chapters and two appendices, which review the global and Vietnamese economies in 2013 and identify the country's binding constraints using a growth diagnostics approach.

It is a valuable and reliable reference for researchers and policy-makers, social and economic institutions, and those who are concerned about the current economic situation of Vietnam.

The report is a key product of the VNU Hanoi's strategic research programme, which is called "Economic Theories and Macroeconomic Policy in the condition of International Economic Integration of Vietnam".

It is also part of the package of " Independent Economic Assessments" funded by the Australian Government's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade for the 2014 - 2016 period.

The full Vietnamese version of the report will be issued in July, while the English version will be released in September.

The report has been conducted every year since 2009. Its research results have been published as a series of annual reports in order to summarise major economic issues in the previous year and provide an economic outlook for the coming year and policy recommendations.
