SUMMARY
 
In August, the domestic economy continued to accelerate, with several notable positive developments:
Exchange rate pressures eased significantly.
The pressure from corporate bond maturities and early buybacks decreased compared to previous months and the same period last year.
Production capacity increased, and finished goods inventory decreased, primarily due to a continued surge in exports reaching new record levels.
The situation for attracting FDI into Vietnam remains positive.
According to Vietdata, the growth outlook for Vietnam's economy in the last months of the year is quite optimistic. However, due to the impact of Typhoon Yagi, the GDP growth rate for the last six months of the year is expected to slow down for the country and many localities.
