HANOI (Reuters) – Vietnam’s gross domestic product in the third quarter grew 13.67% from a year earlier, the fastest pace in decades, thanks to robust manufacturing and exports and a low base effect, government data released on Thursday showed.
The industrial and construction sector in the July-September period grew 12.91% from a year earlier, the General Statistics Office said in a report. The services sector expanded 18.86%, while the agricultural sector grew by 3.24%.
