BUSINESS IN BRIEF 26/7Agriculture seeks to gain growth momentumAgriculture contributes nearly 20% of Vietnam’s annual GDP. According to the MoIT, the export growth was much lower than the 9.2 per cent rising rate seen in H1 2015. Some other regional countries such as Malaysia, Thailand and China even saw a negative export growth, they said. According to Vietinbank, export growth is forecast to decline in H2, possibly causing the dollar supply to remain at a low level. Supporting enterprises and maintaining growth drivers will be the primary task of the government, executive agencies and the business community itself.
