The global economic outlook for 2024 is forecasted to be “softened landing” amidst prevailing risks that dampen growth momentum. Businesses are concerned about expanding their operations due to lingering interest rate risks and continued geopolitical tensions that undermine international trade. Protectionist barriers restricting imports and exports of essential goods and commodities are distorting global trade. Global organizations predict that economic growth rates for major economies will decelerate compared to 2023. However, there is optimism that the global economic landscape in the second half of 2024 may improve due thanks to anticipated increases in consumer demand, investments, and employment, which are expected to serve as key drivers for enhanced economic growth worldwide.
The economic prospects for Vietnam in 2024 appear more optimistic compared to 2023, thanks to the government’s timely management efforts continuing to yield results. Economic growth is targeted at 6% - 6.5%, achievable through pillars such as public investment, FDI sector, key national projects, and increased purchasing power during 2024. The trade balance is expected to rebound. Industrial production and the real estate market are forecasted to recover.
