Vietnam's Economic Growth Will Accelerate In 2018 As Investors Flood The Country
The forecasts are in and Vietnam can gloat again after a scare in early 2017. Economic growth next year will reach as high as 6.7% in 2018, better than in 2017, the prime minister predicted in October. The Asian Development Bank forecasts 6.5%, but higher than 2017 and stronger than developing Asia overall. Even the more cautious World Bank estimates more growth next year than this year.

Look at the USA today.
The economy has been recovering slowly yet unevenly since the depths of the recession in 2009. The economy has received further support through expansionary monetary policies. This includes not only holding interest rates at the lower bound, but also the unconventional practice of the government buying large amounts of financial assets to increase the money supply and hold down long term interest rates—a practice known as “quantitative easing”.
While the labor market has recovered significantly and employment has returned to pre-crisis levels, there is still widespread debate regarding the health of the U.S. economy. In addition, even though the worst effects of the recession are now fading, the economy still faces a variety of significant challenges going forward. Deteriorating infrastructure, wage stagnation, rising income inequality, elevated pension and medical costs, as well as large current account and government budget deficits, are all issues facing the US economy.
