At the luncheon, the following esteemed speakers shared their insights on the key drivers for Vietnam's strong economic performance in 2022, as well as the challenges faced by policymakers in 2023:

The discussion covered topics such as the effective control of exchange rate and inflation, significant trade surplus, and the prospects of maintaining high GDP growth in 2023 amidst a global economic downturn, reduced demand for exports, and the challenges of foreign reserves and layoffs.
