SUMMARY
 
In general, Vietnam's 8M/2022 macroeconomic indicators continue to remain positive compared to neighboring countries, thanks to the results achieved in the first 6 months of the year. However, except for domestic consumption, which is still growing quite well, a number of other pillars of production, export, and foreign investment inflows started showing signs of slowing down from July.
 
In August 2022, the consumption of goods and accommodation services almost completely recovered after the epidemic and even increased by 10-21% (depending on the field) compared to the same period before the epidemic (August 2019). Particularly the recovery of the tourism industry is still modest because mainly domestic tourism has been restored, while international visitors (inbound) are still limited. Specifically, travel revenue in August 2022 is only 85% of the level of August 2019.
