In the context of the global economy still facing many uncertainties, this year's forum takes place at a particularly important time when the Vietnamese economy is facing many difficulties and challenges. Although GDP in the first 9 months of 2024 achieved a growth rate of 6.82% and CPI increased by 3.88%, unfavorable factors from the world economy as well as slow domestic purchasing power have affected the total demand of the economy.
In addition, many domestic enterprises are still facing difficulties, with the number of enterprises withdrawing from the market in the first 10 months of 2024 increasing by 18.4% compared to the same period last year. However, the Vietnamese economy still recorded some positive signals such as a trade surplus of 23.31 billion USD and realized foreign direct investment of 19.58 billion USD, a slight increase compared to the previous year.
