Dragon Capital: 2022 inflation may hit 4.18%

Under a worst-case scenario, Dragon Capital forecasts that the oil price will exceed 150 USD a barrel this year and that inflation in Vietnam will hit 4.18 per cent; higher than the government target of less than 4 per cent. Trade will be in surplus, by $13.2 billion, if the oil price is $85 a barrel, but may fall to $12 billion if it reaches $100 a barrel.
