Vietnam's Economy Review
Another year has come on earth, and it is time to review Vietnam's
economy situation throughout the entire year of 2012, a year full of
- challenges. Vietnam's economy expanded at its lowest rate in the last 13
years due to rising bad debt levels while foreign investment rate and
consumer spending growth slowed. This has badly affected the daily life
of both laborers and business.
In spite of the fact that inflation has eased, prices remained high in
Vietnam in 2012. Employees had to try their best to get by on such a
small salary. Different from previous years, it was almost impossible for
laborers to save up their monthly earnings.
The slowdown in economic growth has not only affected employees's
life, but also hurt businesses' benefits, especially in the travelling and
industrial sectors. In 2012, it seemed that people were unwilling to shell
out a lot of money to buy luxurious goods or splash on a trip around far-
away locations like Europe; instead they visited local beauty spots to cut
back on expenses. In order to help tide over enterprises during
difficulties, many solutions were created. Most noticeably, on May 4th,
the State Bank of Vietnam issued a circular, imposing a 15 percent cap on
lending interest rates for the four preferential sectors. However, bank
loans with such low interest rate are still beyond the reach of many
enterprises, and most of the businesses have to pay back the loans with
- the per annum rate from 16 to 18 percent.
2012 has passed, and another year has come. Where our national
economy is going next is now entirely up to precise decisions from the
Government. In order to achieve higher economic growth in 2013, efforts
from all sides are required.
