Dear Researchers and Scholars,
In accordance with annual practice, National Economics University, in collaboration with the Central Economic Commission and the Economic Committee of the National Assembly, will organize a National Scientific Conference to evaluate Vietnam's economy in 2020 and its prospects for 2021, while simultaneously launching the University's annual publication, Vietnam Economic Review 2020. The theme of both the Conference and this year's annual publication is "Vietnam's Economy in 2020 and Prospects for 2021: Responding to and Overcoming COVID-19, Towards Recovery and Development".
The conference provides a comprehensive review of Vietnam's economy in 2020, evaluates the Government's policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, and proposes policy recommendations to support the economy in overcoming difficulties, maintaining business and production activities, and preparing foundational conditions for recovery in 2021 and subsequent years.
Aligned with these objectives, the conference will focus on the following key areas:
- Clarifying the international context and the impact of COVID-19 on the global economy; examining policies implemented worldwide, their effectiveness, and associated risks to draw lessons learned for Vietnam;
- Evaluating macroeconomic developments in Vietnam in 2020 and the magnitude of COVID-19 impacts through various channels across key economic sectors (real economy, foreign economic sector, monetary and financial sector, fiscal and budgetary sector, etc.);
- Assessing the positive impacts and limitations of economic support policies implemented in response to COVID-19 during 2020, and analyzing the causes of these limitations;
