HCM City (VNA) – The HSBC has forecast that Vietnam's inflation willincrease 3.7 percent, still below the inflation ceiling of 4percent set by the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV).

In its "Vietnam at a glance" report in May, HSBCVietnam said that inflation pressure in Vietnam remains low in the ASEANregion.

According to the HSBC, in April, headline inflation rose by only 0.2 percent month-on-month, leading to a modest increase of 2.6 percentyear-on-year, still within the market's expectations. The main cause of this is the low transport costs, partly thanks to the drop in world oil prices in the month andthe reduction of tax on environmental protection of Vietnam.

The report also said that Vietnam is benefiting fromthe reopening strategy. With the official reopening of its border on March 15, Vietnamwelcomed over 100,000 foreign tourists in April, a threefold increase comparedto that of March.

For domestic tourism, people's travel needs have exceeded thepre-pandemic level since the beginning of April, which has contributed to therecovery of the retail industry, helping it grow by 5 .8 percent in April.

Goods sales increased by 2 percent month-on-month, and spendingon services and the travel-related segments also rose by 7 percent month-on-month,signaling a good start for the recovery in the service sector./.
