Vietnam 2021 economic performance Q3
Vietnam 2021 economic performance Q3. Saigon emerges in October from the lockdown that spanned much of Q2 and all of Q3. The social and economic trauma is evident in the Vietnam Q3 2021 economic performance. It is felt deeply in job losses and economic progress. Compared to Q3 2020 GDP grew only 1.4%, retails sales declined, FDI decreased and the trade surplus narrowed. The manufacturing industry was hit hard but services suffered even more. There is much to be done to reach Cimigo’s forecast of 3.9% GDP growth in Q4 2021.

Learn more about the prospects for econmic recovery in Q4 here. Consumer spending will only return to pre-pandemic 2019 levels after 18 to 24 months. This pandemic will force a sharp drop in discretionary expenditure. There will be GDP growth of approximately 2.4% in 2021. This is the lowest level since 1986 which recorded a 2.3% growth. It will be less than 2020 which recorded 2.9% and in sharp contrast to the 7.0% growth achieved in 2019. Consumer dynamism and economic growth will rebound unabated by mid-2023.
The economic impact of Covid is unprecedented in peacetime, the impact in 2021 is a much harder impact than 2020. Consumer confidence has hit new lows, businesses have faltered, jobs have been lost and incomes reduced. Many sectors will remain distressed, especially tourism, the airline, leisure and hospitality industry.
Navigating Vietnam’s economic recovery post-Covid in 2021 and beyond will be far harder than experiences to date. Cimigo estimates that 1.6 million jobs were lost in 2020 compared to 5.9 million lost in 2021. Many employees and micro and SME business owners have lost significant levels of income through salary reduction and revenue declines respectively. Cimigo estimate that household incomes diminished by 12% in 2020 and forecast that they will diminish by 38% in 2021.

The team at Cimigo are my favourite researchers in South East Asia. They’ve proved adept at tackling the most private and complex personal issues at qualitative research level, not flinching when the client endlessly chopped and changed fieldwork timing, or ramped up the workload without warning. They have recruited the most extraordinarily niche consumers without pause or complaint. Their patience with clients and their flexibility and hard work that went above and beyond what was initially asked of them on two projects relating to sexual behaviour means there is now no other research company we would choose to work with in that part of Asia. The fact they also pulled off a third project for us so well, on men’s relationship with beer and beer advertising, shows they have breadth of expertise— we still quote from the report they produced.
