Vietnam third-quarter economic growth accelerates to 6.81 pct

Vietnam’s economic growth quickened in the third quarter, buoyed by foreign investments and exports growth that contrasts with the performance of many of its neighbours.
 
Gross domestic product rose 6.81 percent in the third quarter from a year earlier, according to figures released by the Hanoi-based General Statistics Office on 29 September. That compares with a revised 6.47 percent pace in the second quarter this year.
