Citi maintains a cautiously optimistic outlook for Vietnam's growth, despite dip in export growth.

Net sales increased 23% year over year to 7.69 billion euros, with installed base management sales accounting for 2.10 billion euros.

Vietnam needs to achieve a GDP growth rate of about 8.3-8.5% this year, creating momentum to reach a double-digit level in the 2026-2030 period, said Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh.
