Shantanu Chakraborty, country director of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in Việt Nam, speaks to the press about Việt Nam’s economic prospects next year and the bank’s assistance to Việt Nam in this context. Inflation has been kept low, interest rates have been kept low, and the growth of Việt Nam in 2023 compares quite well with that of the neighbouring countries. What are ADB's current areas of focus to help Việt Nam address challenges from external contexts and adapt to climate change? Việt Nam has been a very strong partner of ADB for 30 years, we have lent about US$17 billion so far to Việt Nam, in numerous projects in the last few decades. What are some of the best-case practices from other countries that Việt Nam can learn from?
