6.7% GDP growth targeted for 2018: Gov’ meeting

The decade-high GDP growth of 7.38 per cent achieved in the first quarter may not be easy to replicate for the rest of the year. The government, however, will strive towards a year-on-year growth rate of 6.7 per cent.

The Government’s monthly meeting this morning, chaired by Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc (standing), sets GDP growth for 2018 at 6.7 per cent, following the decade-high GDP growth of 7.38 per cent achieved in the first quarter. — VNA/VNS Photo Thống Nhất
