Abstract

This study utilizes secondary data obtained from the General Statistics Office of Viet Nam (now the National Statistics Office) to evaluate and analyze the current state of economic growth in Viet Nam following the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings reveal that although the pandemic generated significant economic difficulties and challenges, Viet Nam maintained positive economic growth during 2020 and 2021 despite a notable slowdown. Since 2022, the economy has shown a strong recovery and achieved considerable growth momentum. Nevertheless, the growth process continues to face various challenges arising from global uncertainties, including inflationary pressures, economic instability, and supply chain disruptions. In response to these risks, the study proposes several policy recommendations aimed at promoting sustainable economic growth in the coming period.
