As of early July 2020, Vietnam seems to be back to normal like what we used to be before the COVID-19 pandemic. This rapid return is an obvious tribute to the government's policy that has helped to contain the virus and save lives. However, a question remains whether we are really back to our normality or it is just illusory?
Join EuroCham at this webinar with our special guest speaker from World Bank Vietnam to gain insights on the economic outlook 2020 from the latest report "Taking stock July 2020: What will be the new normal for Vietnam?"
We also expect some discussions whether the second wave of COVID starting from Da Nang will give a severe impact and damage the positive GDP of Viet Nam this year and can the Vietnamese government maintain the effectiveness of COVID fight as in the first phase, and more specifically:
• What have been the main channels of transmission of the COVID-19 crisis on the domestic economy and who have been the main financial victims?
• To what extent has the health strategy followed by the government, with bold and rapid social distancing measures, been justified from an economic point of view?
• What are the short- to medium-term prospects for the Vietnamese economy and what kind of policies could accelerate the economic recovery in the post COVID-19 era? In case of the quarantine period coming back due to COVID-19 pandemic, what would happen and what the Government can do to boost again the economic growth?
