The article said that Vietnamese economy is showing signs of better recovery in the post-Covid-19 phase. Meanwhile, Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc expected that the local economy would grow by 4 to 5% this year, exceeding predictions made by the IMF in April. Vietnamese economy can recover faster than many Asian economies in the region.

The slow demand from the European and the US has impacted the exports from Vietnam, and this might affect its projected growth of 6.8% this year, but achieving a growth of 5% would be laudable. Vietnam may reap the benefits of early recovery.

In the second quarter, Vietnamese economic development indicators are promising. Vietnam has posted trade surplus of USD 500 million in June 2020. The US-Vietnam trade is expected to reach USD 80 billion in the coming years due to the bilateral trade agreement between US and Vietnam in 2000.

Moreover, the FTA between Vietnam and the EU has created better trade avenues for Vietnam. It is expected that the EU-Vietnam trade agreement can facilitate tariff free entry of more than 71% of Vietnamese goods to Europe while more than 65% of European goods would get tariff free entry into Vietnam.

Vietnam has seen the increase in foreign direct investment from European and the US. The trade deficit between the US and Vietnam has already reached USD 40 billion last year. To capture the US market, Vietnam would have to raise its trade and start importing products from the US such as automobiles, bikes and other consumer products. This means that the US and Vietnam can cooperate to balance trade and expand the commodities basket.
