Implementing the socio-economic development plan for 2021, Vietnam achieved and exceeded targets for 7 out of 12 key indicators. In the first months of 2022, with the successful control of the Covid-19 pandemic, macroeconomic stability continued to be maintained, major economic balances were ensured, and inflation was controlled. Economic growth (GDP) in the first quarter reached 5.03%, higher than the same period in 2020 and 2021.
