Vietnam economy won’t be better next year: economist

Vietnam’s economy will continue to recover but at a slow pace next year, and the sustainability of its rebound appears weak, a senior economist has warned.
Nguyen Dinh Cung, head of the Central Institute for Economic Management, said: “The recovery in 2013-15 was driven by the growth in the mining industry. But such growth isn’t sustainable because we can’t drill for oil and dig for coal forever.”
