Economists pointed to the fact that Viet Nam chiefly imported raw materials and equipment from China. Hence, the neighbour's yuan devaluation as well as globally low oil prices will lower input costs while prompting higher competitiveness, thus spurring production and economic growth.
However, Vietnamese products would face the competition with Chinese cheap products, especially consumer commodities.
In August, the index of industrial production (IIP) fell 1.3% month-on-month but went up 9% year-on-year.
In the first eight months, IPP increased by 9.9%, higher than the same periods years ago. Export turnover valued around US$14.5 billion, a month-on-month rise of 2.3% and a year-on-year surge of 9.5%.
Meanwhile, total retail sales and service revenues were estimated to grow 10.1% in comparison with the same period last year. Recovering purchasing power was expected to boost production, business, and economic growth.
In August, 9,301 enterprises were set up with a total registered capital of VND55.2 trillion, up 41% in number and 41.9% in value.
However, in the rest of the year, the economy was forecast to encounter numerous difficulties and challenges, including sharp declines in oil and commodity prices and complicated fluctuations in the global financial market following the yuan devaluation./.
