Samson:  Việt Nam retains positive economic outlook in short-term: World Bank

28th September, 2022

World Bank experts has forecast Việt Nam's economy to grow by 7.2 per Saturday Evening Iraq Economic News Highlights 10-1-22in 2022, the highest growth rate among East Asian and Pacific economies. 

According to the East Asia and the Pacific (EAP) Economic Update October 2022 released on September 27, WB experts said the growth will be supported by a strong recovery in domestic demand and continued solid performance by export-oriented manufacturing. However, it would revert to normal rates over the medium-term, with 6.7 per cent for 2023 and 6.5 per cent for 2024.

Việt Nam's inflation rose to 3.1 per cent in July on grounds of higher transport costs, which increased by 15.2 per cent. It is projected to accelerate to 3.8 per cent in 2022 and 4.0 per cent in 2023 due to second-round effects of community price impacts.

Its public debt is estimated at 39.9 per cent of GDP in 2022 and 40.5 per cent for 2023, sustainable and well below the threshold of 60 per cent of GDP set by the National Assembly.

Its poverty is expected to decline from 3.7 per cent in 2021 to 3.3 per cent in 2022. The same goes for lower middle-income poverty, which would fall from 3.7 per cent to 3.4 per cent, before ending up at 3.1 per cent in 2023.

Its public expenditures are likely to speed up in the second half of the year, resulting in a fiscal deficit of 2.8 per cent of GDP in 2022. The deficit is projected to rise to 3.2 per cent next year as the implementation of the 2022-23 support programme picks up.

In the short term, given Việt Nam's ongoing economic recovery and well-controlled inflation, the current accommodative monetary policy remains appropriate whereas a more supportive fiscal policy would hedge against downside risks, including heightened financial risks.  However, if inflation overshoots 4.0 per cent and core inflation hikes up, Vietnamese authorities should consider recalibrating monetary and fiscal policies.

Notably, higher financial sector risks would require intensified prudential supervision, reporting and provisioning on NPLs, and improved corporate insolvency and banking sector resolution frameworks.

In the regional scale, three factors could be a hindrance to regional growth beyond the end of 2022, which are global deceleration, rising debt and policy distortions. The growth is projected to slow to 3.2 per cent this year and accelerate to 4.6 per cent in 2023.

The consumer price index has been on the rise in recent months but remained around target ranges in several major economies. Meanwhile, inflationary pressure is building rapidly in other countries, reflecting mounting energy and food prices, as well as idiosyncratic factors.

In most EAP countries, the rise in public debt during the pandemic was driven primarily by an increase in domestic debt. At the same time, private sector debt remains high, especially household debt in China, Malaysia and Thailand.

Poverty in the region is expected to fall thanks to continued recovery from the pandemic. The pace of poverty reduction returned to pre-pandemic levels in 2022 and the number of poor is projected to reach historic lows. LINK

Samson:  Việt Nam's GDP up 13.67% in Q3 as manufacturing rebounds

30th September, 2022

Việt Nam's gross domestic product (GDP) expanded 13.67 per cent in the third quarter of this year, helped by a rebound in manufacturing and a lower base than a year ago, the General Statistics Office (GSO) said Thursday.

Business activities in the third quarter saw strong growth, especially compared with the same period last year when several parts of the country were under strict lockdown due to the pandemic, said GSO Director General Nguyễn Thị Hương.  In Q3 this year, the agriculture-forestry-fishery sector increased by 3.24 per cent, the industry and construction sector was up 12.91 per cent, while the service sector rose by 18.86 per cent, Hương said.

Regarding GDP use, final consumption expenditure increased by 10.08 per cent over the same period last year; accumulated assets rose by 8.7 per cent; exports of goods and services surged 9.32 per cent, and imports of goods and services were up 2.72 per cent.

With upbeat signs reported in almost all aspects between January and September, the GDP was estimated to rise 8.83 per cent for the period, the highest nine-month growth recorded in 2011-2022, said GSO Director General Nguyễn Thị Hương.

In nine months, the GSO also pointed out that the agro-forestry-fishery sector grew by 2.99 per cent. The industry and construction, meanwhile, increased by 9.44 per cent, and service rose by 10.57 per cent. As for GDP use, final consumption expenditure climbed 7.26 per cent over the same period last year; accumulated assets rose by 5.59 per cent; exports of goods and services up 8.94 per cent and imports of goods and services up 4.74 per cent.

Hương said in the period, ministries, sectors, and localities have drastically implemented the Government's resolutions serving the nation's programme for recovery and socio-economic growth.

As a result, the macro-economy was stabilised, inflation was put under control, major balances ensured, monetary and fiscal policies conducted flexibly and effectively, the business investment environment improved, and social security was guaranteed, she said.

CPI up 3.32 per cent in Q3. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) in the third quarter of 2022 posted a year-on-year rise of 3.32 per cent.

The office said CPI in September increased by 0.4 per cent month-on-month, up 4.01 per cent against December 2021 and up 3.94 per cent compared to the same period last year. GSO General Director Nguyễn Thị Hương attributed the increase in CPI in September to the price of essential consumer goods and services increasing in line with the price of input materials and transportation costs, the continuous hikes in domestic petrol prices in tandem with world fuel prices, as well as rising tuition fees.

On average, in the first nine months, CPI increased by 2.73 per cent over the same period last year; core inflation rose by 1.88 per cent.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been controlled, meaning demand for eating out has increased. The average prices of restaurant services in nine months increased by 4.38 per cent over the same period last year, causing the overall CPI to increase by 0.38 percentage points. Although domestic gas prices fluctuated according to world gas prices, gas prices in nine months rose by 18.75 per cent over the same period last year.

The price of food items in the first nine months of 2022 increased by 0.5 per cent over the same period last year, causing CPI to increase by 0.11 percentage points. In addition, the increase in domestic rice prices in line with the export prices of rice made the prices of rice in the first nine months increase by 1.14 per cent year-on-year, increasing the overall CPI by 0.03 percentage points. However, it wasn't all bad, and CPI across many sectors decreased in the third quarter of 2022, including education service fees which dropped by 1.88 per cent. A number of provinces and centrally-run cities exempt and reduced tuition fees from the first semester of the 2021-2022 school year due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, causing CPI to decrease by 0.1 percentage points.

The domestic gold price fluctuated in the same direction as the world gold prices. As of September 25, 2022, the average world gold price stood at $1,702.79 per ounce, down 4.74 per cent compared to August 2022, when the US tightened monetary policy. Domestically, gold price in September 2022 decreased by 1.71 per cent compared to the previous month, up by 1.34 per cent compared to December 2021, up by 4.06 per cent over the same period last year.  LINK

Samson:  US businesses interested in cooperating with Việt Nam in energy transition, digital transformation

24th September, 2022

Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Phạm Bình Minh on September 22 met representatives from the US Chamber of Commerce, the Business Council for International Understanding (BCIU), the US-ASEAN Business Council (USABC) and US firms operating in many different areas in New York.

Highlighting the sound economic, trade and investment partnership between the two countries, Minh noted that two-way trade reached nearly US$87 billion in the first eight months of this year, up about 20 per cent year on year.

The US had been the largest export market of Việt Nam, while the latter was also the biggest trade partner of the US among the ASEAN countries, he stressed.

The official affirmed that the Vietnamese Government would continue to create optimal conditions for foreign businesses, including those from the US, to expand their business and invest in Việt Nam in the areas of high technology, digital transformation, green transition, innovation, finance and banking, smart agriculture, renewable energy, infrastructure development and R&D, thus contributing to the country’s efforts in completing commitments announced at the 26th UN Climate Change Conference to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

Minh highly valued ideas from US associations and businesses, expressing his hope that they would continue contributing to the promotion of the harmonious and sustainable economic, trade and investment partnership between the two countries.

US representatives hailed efforts by the Vietnamese Government in COVID-19 control and economic recovery as well as maintaining the macro-economic stability, creating confidence for foreign investors to expand their operation in Việt Nam.

US businesses said they were impressed by Vietnamese economic growth amid the complicated pandemic developments, commenting that Việt Nam is a dynamic and potential market as well as one of the attractive Southeast Asian destinations for companies that wish to stabilise and re-establish supply chains.

They welcomed Việt Nam’s efforts in digital transformation, energy transition and climate change response, holding that the country’s development targets are suitable to the common development trend of the world.

Samson:  European enterprises optimistic about Viet Nam’s economy: EuroCham

28th September, 2022

European firms have shown their optimism about the Vietnamese economy, which is recovering strongly after the COVID-19 pandemic, Vice Chairman of the European Chamber of Commerce in Việt Nam (EuroCham) Nguyễn Hải Minh has said.

According to Minh, despite the global supply disruptions induced by the pandemic, Việt Nam still exported more than US$35.1 billion worth of goods to the EU in 2020 and over $40 billion last year. Meanwhile, the Southeast Asian nation imported $14.6 billion and $16.7 billion worth of commodities from the bloc in the two years, respectively.

In the first eight months of this year, Việt Nam’s exports to the EU were valued at $31.9 billion, up 23.6 per cent, resulting in a trade surplus of up to $21.6 billion, a rise of 46.4 per cent.

The figures reflected positive impacts of the EU-Việt Nam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA), he noted. However, Minh said, European enterprises in Việt Nam said they benefited more from the EVFTA as the country’s export to the EU mainly came from FDI firms.

EuroCham member businesses and even those that have yet to invest in Việt Nam expressed their hope that the EU-Việt Nam Investment Protection Agreement (EVIPA) would soon be approved and take effect, paving the way for European firms to expand investment in the Southeast Asian nation.   Minh also cited the Business Climate Index (BCI) released by EuroCham showing that European business stakeholders' confidence in Việt Nam's investment environment declined slightly in the second quarter of this year to 68.8 per cent due to external factors.

Up to 60 per cent of respondents predicted that the Vietnamese economy would stabilise or improve in the third quarter of 2022, 45 per cent were significantly or moderately satisfied with Việt Nam's efforts to attract and retain foreign direct investment (FDI), and 76 per cent expected to increase FDI in the country before the end of the third quarter. 55 per cent of respondents said Việt Nam improved its FDI attraction and retention capabilities since the first quarter.

Regarding the link between green growth and FDI, nearly 90 per cent of respondents said that Việt Nam should increase green economy development to attract more foreign investment.

Minh said apart from the above advantages, Việt Nam’s improved administrative procedures also helped to attract foreign investors, including those from the EU. He also noted that many EU enterprises were still concerned about specialised inspections in Việt Nam, which remain overlapping.  LINK

He added, "If Iraq manages to open the investment window in the private sector through the establishment of refineries and the purchase of crude oil at the international price by these refineries and re-export it, it will open a new window for Iraqis, especially those with certificates and specialization in the engineering oil, petrochemical and chemical engineering sectors, as it will contribute to increasing revenues Iraq and reduce dependence on the process of importing derivatives.”

And he indicated that “Iraq consumes 700,000 barrels of derivatives daily, and this is a large number, and there is a possibility to open an investment window to establish refineries in countries such as India, China and the European Union, as it buys crude oil and operates refineries that do not belong to Iraq, so if there is a new strategy to invest financial savings internally and externally in order for Iraq to guarantee its market share in Iraqi oil consumption.” finished 25 LINK

Will Al-Sadr Succeed In Stopping His "Opposing Train" Towards The Republican Palace?

Posted On2022-09-30 By Sotaliraq    It seems that the success of the session to renew confidence in the Speaker of the Iraqi Parliament, Muhammad al-Halbousi, and the selection of his first deputy from the coordinating framework, two months after the suspension of parliament’s work, will motivate the framework and the forces allied with it to hold other sessions to choose the president of the republic and ratify the new government.

Perhaps these developments come in light of the lack of clear international or regional support for the proposals of the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr, to change the political process in Iraq, remove those who are currently at the fore in the political scene from all affiliations and form a new political system in the country.

Political Changes

This happened in conjunction with the transition of Sadr’s former allies in the Sovereignty Alliance and the Kurdistan Democratic Party to the direction of the coordination framework, which resulted in the announcement of the State Administration Alliance to be an alternative to the tripartite alliance that Al-Sadr formed before his withdrawal from Parliament last June.

Fears of new clashes, as happened at the end of last August in the Green Zone, which resulted in the killing of about 100 people, prevent Al-Sadr from making any major protest movements for fear of such confrontations and the complete collapse of the security situation.

And it seems that Al-Halbousi is trying to return to normal life in the House of Representatives by inviting the parliamentary committees to carry out their work in preparation for the parliament’s resumption of its work, especially after he succeeded in holding its first sessions after months with a full quorum. Rather, the sessions have been postponed until further notice, and the goal may be not to provoke al-Sadr and leave room for dialogue.

New Sessions

The Director of the Iraq Center for Strategic Studies, Ghazi Faisal, expects that the holding of the vice president election session will be the beginning of other sessions that will pave the way for the session to choose the president of the republic and assign the prime minister.

Faisal said that "the political situation has now reached a stage that some of them believe is the solution, but it is imposed by accepting the fait accompli by the coordination framework on the rest of the forces," noting that the political blocs can hold a session of Parliament and discuss some details and basic principles for conducting matters in preparation for the election of the president and the assignment of a president Ministers to go to legislation.

There Are No Solutions

Faisal expressed his lack of optimism about the formation of the new political body, which he considered contradicting the constitution, which indicated that the parliamentary majority forms the government with the presence of a national opposition, considering that the catastrophe produced by sectarian quotas and consensus policies is the absence of opposition, as there is consensus in decisions and everyone is not held accountable. All, which resulted in administrative corruption and the silence of the parties on the mistakes of other ministers.

He pointed out that "the coordinating framework is not a party, so it is sometimes contradictory in trends and positions, at the level of strategies, and at the level of its connection with political references, and there is no unity of decision or ideology that unites them."

The Difficulty Of The Majority

Essam Al-Faili, a professor of political science at Al-Mustansiriya University, believes that it will be difficult to achieve the large majority that was chosen for the Speaker of Parliament in the process of choosing the President of the Republic, warning of the massive demonstrations that will sweep the country.

Al-Faili said that “some of the deputies present for Wednesday’s session came to support Al-Halbousi, and therefore it is difficult to achieve the same consensus in the parliament session regarding choosing the president of the republic because there are reservations from some deputies, because the government will be a framework, and this is what they reject altogether,” stressing that there is a high volume of pressure that will be exerted. From the Sadrist movement, especially since it did not move on the ground regarding the demonstrations that took place in Tahrir Square.

There Is No Dialogue

He added that Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi said that there should be a dialogue, but there are no details about the dialogue and its outcomes and terms, pointing out that the Speaker wanted Parliament to remain active, and therefore there are a number of measures taken by parliamentary committees and recommendations in this matter.

Al-Faili explained that the session did not last more than half an hour, but its repercussions caused paralysis in the street and demonstrations, indicating that Al-Halbousi does not want to form a government that runs on blood, because he and the Kurds are more reading the political scene.

He considered that any mobilization will not be limited to demonstrations only, but rather an open, high-level civil sit-in and expand to the southern governorates, stressing that the security forces will not be able to confront the matter, which will lead to the closure of all outlets of the Green Zone, and therefore the only solution is to reach understandings with al-Sadr.

Chest Message

While political researcher Ali Al-Baydar says that Al-Sadr delivered a message to the parliament session, and his reaction would be stronger if another session was held to choose the president of the republic.

He added that "Al-Sadr conveyed a state of anger and dissatisfaction with what is happening, which generated security incidents regardless of who bombed the parliament, but it seems that he conveyed a message of dissatisfaction that must be taken into account."

Al-Baydar suggested that the escalation would not be limited to this level, but rather exceed it, which leads to a clear loss on the security level and even the economic aspects.

Chest Responses

And about the possibility of a large parliamentary presence in the session to choose the president of the republic, he stated that “the parliamentary system in general is pushing for a presence in the depth of the authority and its presence in the interests of interest,” noting that “everyone is waiting for al-Sadr’s reactions, what will he do? How will he deal with the crisis?? And the

Al-Baydar ruled out that “Al-Sadr will negotiate, according to his conviction, the unqualified, and try to keep the scene in a state of turmoil.    LINK

King Charles III coronation: When is he officially crowned and what happens next?

King Charles III coronation: When is he officially crowned and what happens next?

Amira Arasteh    Thu, September 29

Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, her eldest son ascended the throne to become King Charles III.  The late Queen reigned for 70 years, having celebrated her Platinum Jubilee in June 2022, meaning she was the only monarch many people in Britain have ever known.

Britain came to the end of its national mourning period for the late Queen on Tuesday 20 September, following her state funeral, and while he has already ascended the throne, the coronation of the new King will not happen for some time.

But exactly when will the coronation take place and what will it mean for both the monarchy and the rest of the country?

When did Charles become King?

Upon the death of Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday 8 September, Charles officially became King.

However, it is tradition to wait until a sufficient time period of mourning has taken place, before crowning the new sovereign.

A large amount of preparation is also required to organise the ceremony.

When is the coronation of King Charles III?

An official coronation date is yet to be announced, however the Telegraph reported that it is likely to be in spring or summer 2023, after a period of mourning for the late Queen.

The late Queen's coronation took place on 2 June 1953 following her accession on 6 February 1952, over a year after she ascended the throne.

What will happen at the coronation?

It is expected that the coronation of King Charles III will be designed in line with his vision for a smaller, more modern monarchy.   The King will be crowned alongside his Queen Consort, Camilla.

Sources have said that the ceremony will be shorter, smaller and less expensive than that of Queen Elizabeth II. It is also said it will be planned to be representative of different faiths and community groups - falling in line with the King's wish to reflect the ethnic diversity of modern Britain.

The coronation will include the oath required by statute and many of the ceremonies which were seen in the late Queen's service, such as anointing with consecrated oil, the delivery of the orb and the enthroning itself.

Over 8,000 guests from 129 nations travelled to Westminster Abbey for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953 but, in contrast, guests at the King's coronation will be limited to 2,000 to accommodate health and safety restrictions.

The Archbishop of Canterbury will conduct the ceremony in Westminster Abbey, confirming Charles's acceptance of becoming King via the coronation oath.

The King will be asked if he will govern the United Kingdom and other nations of the Commonwealth with law and justice and if he will maintain Christianity in the nation.

He will be seated in the Coronation Chair, known as Edward's Chair, holding the sovereign's sceptre and rod, to represent his control of the nation, and the sovereign's orb, to represent the Christian world.

After being anointed, blessed and consecrated by the Archbishop, Charles will have the crown of St Edward placed on his head, officially crowning him as King Charles III.

What Crown does the king wear?

Samson:  Putin signs agreements on accession of four Ukrainian regions to the Russian Federation

30th September, 2022

Russian President Vladimir Putin signed today, Friday, documents to annex four Ukrainian regions to the Russian Federation, while calling on Kyiv to "stop all its military operations."

The four regions are Lugansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporozhye. At a ceremony in St. George's Hall in the Kremlin, Putin and separatist leaders put their names on treaties to join Russia.

This action represents a sharp escalation in the seven-month-old conflict in Ukraine. The signing came three days after the completion of "referendums" organized by the Kremlin on joining Russia, which Kyiv and the West rejected. "We call on the Kyiv regime to immediately stop fighting, stop all hostilities and return to the negotiating table," Putin said, in a televised speech from the Kremlin during a ceremony to officially announce the annexation of four Ukrainian regions occupied by Moscow.

He warned the West that the residents of the four Ukrainian regions occupied by Moscow are "our citizens forever," adding, "I want to say this to the Kyiv regime and its masters in the West: the residents of Lugansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhia will become our citizens forever." He stated that the residents of these areas made an "unambiguous choice" to join Russia, denying his efforts to revive the Soviet Union. Referendums held by Moscow in those regions met with international condemnation.

On Thursday, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres announced to reporters that Russia's annexation of Ukrainian regions "has no place in the modern world," and said that "any decision to implement the process of annexing the Ukrainian regions of Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporizhia will have no legal value." It deserves condemnation (...) It is a dangerous escalation. This matter has no place in the contemporary world."

In his speech to hundreds of senior Russian politicians, the Russian President said, on Friday, that his country "will defend its new lands with all the means available to it," statements that may indicate an escalation. The Russian president accused Western countries of seeking to turn Russia into a "colony," noting that "it stems from selfishness in order to preserve its unlimited power (ie, Western countries). These are the real reasons for this hybrid war that the West is waging against us.. They want to make us a colony." 

Putin had signed a decree published on Thursday night - Friday, recognizing the "independence" of Kherson and Zaporizhia provinces, which are under the control of the Russian army in Ukraine. Both houses of the Kremlin-dominated parliament, which often approves the government's position, will meet next week to ratify treaties on accession to Russia and send them to Putin for his approval.LINK
