Although the consumer price index declined this month, deflation was welcomed as necessarily a good thing.
"If we try to tackle inflation by the classic method of tightening credit and pushing up interest rates, then we'll face an even greater problem with bad debt, unemployment and stagnation," commented Military Bank Securities Co Director Quach Manh Hao. "But I don't think deflation can last long in a country which prefers growth like Viet Nam ."
