The ministry said the upgrade to\u00a0Ba2<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0reflects the assessment by Moody’s that Vietnam’s economy has growing strengths and greater resilience to external macroeconomic shocks that are indicative of improved policy effectiveness.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Moody’s expects the situation would continue as the economy benefits from supply chain reconfiguration, export diversification and continued inbound investment in manufacturing.<\/p>\n

The rating also reflects a sounder fiscal footing backed by contained borrowing costs, a conservative approach to fiscal policy and improved government liquidity, driven by the ongoing transition from external concessional borrowing toward longer-dated, low-cost domestic market financing, said the ministry.<\/p>\n

Amid complicated developments in the world in the past eight months, Vietnam is the only in Asia-Pacific and one of the four countries globally to have ratings upgraded by Moody\u2019s since early this year.<\/p>\n

Despite the changes in the world situation, Vietnam has made positive recovery in business and production activities, stabilised macro-economy, controlled inflation, and ensured major economic balances, according to a report by the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI<\/strong><\/a>) delivered at the Government regular meeting on September 6.<\/p>\n

In August, consumer price index (CPI) rose 3.65 year on year, pushing the average CPI in the first eight months to 2.58%, equivalent to the level recorded in the 2018-2021 period, said the report.<\/p>\n

Budget collection in the first eight months of this year fulfilled about 84.8% of the yearly estimate, up 19.4% year on year, while import-export turnover rose about 17.3% over the same period last year in August and 15.5% in the first eight months of this year, with\u00a0trade surplus<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0reaching 3.96 billion USD in the eight months.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the index of industrial production (IIP) increased 15.6% year on year in August and 9.4% in eight months, according to the report. Total revenue from retail of goods and services in August was also up 50.2% year on year.<\/p>\n

Particularly, important infrastructure such as\u00a0 Van Don-Mong Cai and Ha Long-Mong Cai Expressways and Thu Thiem 2 Bridge were put into operation.<\/p>\n

The report also highlights positive results in many areas such as defence, security and external relations.<\/p>\n

It said that as of August 28, 505 trillion VND (21.44 billion USD) of public investment capital was disbursed, reaching 93.2% of the target.Meanwhile, the Ministry of Finance reported that over 212 trillion VND of capital from the State budget had been disbursed as of August 31, equivalent to 39.15% of the plan set by the PM.<\/p>\n

As of September 2, 55.5 trillion VND of support to the socio-economic recovery and development programme was disbursed, including more than 10 trillion VND of soft loans through the Vietnam Bank for Social Policies.<\/p>\n

The implementation of national target programmes has also been on a right track, the ministry said.<\/p>\n

Governor of the State Bank of Vietnam Nguyen Thi Hong said that in August and the first eight months, the inflation rate was kept at a low level, while economic growth was relatively high, showing the efficiency of macro-economic policies.<\/p>\n

Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung said that many reputable organisations and experts are optimism about Vietnamese economic outlook, noting that the World Bank predicted 7.5% of Vietnam\u2019s GDP growth for 2022 and 6.7% for 2023, while the Asian Development Bank and the International Monetary Fund also forecast that the figure may reach 6.5% and 6%, respectively, for this year.\/.
