HANOI (Reuters) – Vietnam will strive for a economic expansion of 7.6% to 8% in the last quarter of 2024 and is maintaining its full year target of 7% growth following positive results in the third quarter, the government said on Monday, citing the planning minister.
Gross domestic product grew 7.4% year-on-year in the third quarter, surpassing the second quarter’s revised 7.09% expansion, the government data showed on Sunday, despite the impacts of natural disasters last month.
