H1-2022 Global Research Briefing webinar – Vietnam | British Chamber of Commerce Vietnam on Glue Up

Dear BritCham Vietnam member,

The global economic recovery continues amid a resurging pandemic that poses unique policy challenges and requires strong multilateral efforts. The threat of the new variant is likely to slow the pace of reopening, resulting in downside for growth and employment. What are the key economic factors and risks in the year ahead?

Vietnam’s economy is unlikely to show clear signs of a broad recovery until late Q1 at the earliest, as ongoing COVID transmission has constrained the recent economic bounce. The reopening of tourism, previously expected around mid-year, remains unclear. Meanwhile, inflation will likely become more of a concern in H2 as economic recovery progresses, in addition to supply-side factors.

Join Standard Chartered for a live webinar with our Global Research team as they share their views on the global and Vietnam outlook for 2022, including the following highlights:
