Inflation to remain under control amid rising gasoline prices

According to Mr. Nguyen Ba Khang, Deputy Director of the National Financial Supervisory Information Center at the National Financial Supervisory Commission, excessively high gasoline prices have had an impact on the effectiveness of Vietnam’s economic recovery support package. Inflation, however, will be kept at 2-2.2 per cent in the first quarter and not increase significantly for the year as a whole.
