Vietnam's economy grew to 5.5% in Q3

Thanks to improving exports.

According to BBVA Research, Vietnam's Q3 GDP growth accelerates on improving exports.

The country's GDP growth picked up to 5.5% y/y from 5.0% in Q2, as rising exports offset weak domestic demand.

Here's more:

Exports increased 16% y/y in the first nine months of the year, and FDI commitments rose by 20% y/y (first eight months); in contrast, the domestic sector is weak, underscored by an indebted SOE sector and a poor asset quality, with a bank NPL ratio of 15%. We expect Vietnam's growth to register 5.2% for full-year 2013.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
