Report reveals problems of Vietnam’s economy despite Q1 strong growthVietnam posted an impressive growth rate of 7.38 percent in the first quarter of 2018, but there remain many problems behind this 10-year high expansion, many experts said at the April 10 launch of a report on the country’s macro-economy in Q1. The firm’s export of mobile phones and components reached 12.3 billion USD in the three months, surging 58.8 percent year on year. Meanwhile, 53.01 billion USD worth of goods were imported in the period, including 31.75 billion USD by FDI businesses and 21.26 billion USD by domestic firms. According to the report, the rise of new jobs did not match the high economic growth in Q1 compared to the same period last year. Economic growth rates for the upcoming quarters are forecast at 6.51, 6.84 and 6.75 percent, respectively.-VNA
