Illustrative image (Photo: VNA) Hanoi (VNA) - The ADB has revised down Vietnam's 2021 GDP growth forecast from 6.7 percent to 3.8 percent due to a resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic that has tightened the labour market, lowered industrial output, and disrupted agricultural value chains, according to a report released by the bank on September 22. At a virtual press conference, ADB country director Andrew Jeffries said the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and extended lockdowns have weakened consumption and investment, hampering Vietnam’s growth prospects. “But the Vietnamese economy will bounce back if the COVID-19 pandemic is brought under control by the end of 2021 and 70 percent of the country’s population are vaccinated by the second quarter of 2022," he said. ADB remains bullish on the country’s prospects in the medium and long term. Growth could be aided by a revival of domestic demand, an acceleration in the disbursement of public investment, and an expansion to new export …

Vu Thu Hang, head of sales with TNI Holdings Vietnam, enumerated several problems with land clearance at a recent webinar on "Identifying new trends in Industrial Park development." She said infrastructure investors were forced to pay site clearance compensation in stages and the process was prolonged even further because of legal and procedural hassles. This, in turn, interferes with enterprises' planning process and reduces project duration for investors, she added. "Businesses have lost many opportunities, especially when there were many orders that could not be met because site clearance did not happen in time," Hang said. A wave of factory relocations from China has heated up Vietnam's industrial real estate market generating high demand and increasing rentals. While investors are willing pay a premium to sign leases, complete licensing procedures and begin operations, land clearance continued to be a bottleneck for industrial real estate investment enterprises, Hang …

Vietnam’s prime minister has recently asked a national textbook assessment council to review the first-grade textbooks over concerns their content is inappropriate for first-graders and causes public resentment in the country, local media reported. The set of textbooks, titled “Canh dieu” (Kite), is part of the new general education curriculum which Vietnam first adopted this academic year.
