Fast Market Research recommends "Vietnam Freight Transport Report Q3 2014" from Business Monitor International, now available

Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 06/03/2014 --Latest data released by the General Statistics office of Vietnam (GSO) showed that real GDP accelerated by 5.0% year-on-year (y-o-y) in Q1 2014, slightly faster than the 4.9% print registered in the Q1 2013. Although it showed a deceleration from 6.0% recorded in Q4 2013, we believe that the economy is still on track to hit our 2014 growth forecast of 5.9% in 2014. This would mark a slight acceleration from the 5.4% registered in 2013, and is above estimates by the Asian Development Bank, which forecasts real GDP to reach 5.6% in 2014.

We believe that the economy will be driven by a strengthening of private consumption, continued foreign direct investment into key areas of the economy, a more robust external sector, and a rebound in manufacturing activity over the coming quarters. That said, trend growth for the Vietnamese economy will average a slower 6.2% over the next decade, compared to 6.5% recorded in the past 10 years.
