Having largely brought the pandemic under control this year, Vietnam has seen remarkablesocio-economic recovery.

The resumption of international flights and the launch of vaccine passportshave been discussed, with a view to opening up the economy in a safe manner.

Regarding the reform process for Vietnam recommended in the report, Nguyen AnhDuong from CIEM said that it should continue its COVID-19 prevention work andits efforts to remove bottlenecks facing the business community and workers andpromote economic institutional reform this year.

In 2022, it is necessary for the country to carry out economic recoverymeasures in tandem with economic institutional reform. Meanwhile, solutions tosupport economic recovery should be withdrawn, and focus should be sharpened oneconomic institutional reform, Duong added.

Vietnam can achieve better economic growth if it loosens monetary and fiscalpolicies, but it could suffer from higher inflationary pressure, he pointed out.
