Vietnam’s Jan.-Sept. GDP grows 5.54 pct y/y, planning ministry says

Gross domestic product rose 5.54 percent in the nine months through September from the same period a year earlier, according to an estimate given by the planning ministry ahead of the official data release from the statistics office due later today. That compares with a median estimate of 5.4 percent in a Bloomberg survey.
