Vietnam’s GDP growth was roughly 1.81 percent in the first half, the lowest since 2011, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, General Statistics Office reported Monday.
The country’s second quarter GDP grew by 0.36 percent, compared with an expansion of 6.73 percent in the same period last year, said the GSO.
Vietnam’s low H1 GDP growth is ascribed to the Covid-19 pandemic, which has caused major economies such as the U.S. Japan, and EU to face a deep recession, an interrupted supply chain, a sharp drop in crude oil prices, alongside high unemployment, it said.

MONTREAL: Canada must have an “urgent rethink” of its relationship with China, former prime minister Brian Mulroney said on Wednesday (Jul 1) as tensions build over the possible extradition to the United States of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou.
Conservative Mulroney backed his Liberal successor Justin Trudeau’s rejection of any exchange of Meng, who was arrested in Vancouver in December 2018, for two Canadians who were detained in China in apparent retaliation.
Mulroney said Canada’s hope that China would emerge as a constructive partner in international relations had been proven wrong, referring in particular to Beijing’s militarization of the South China Sea.
