ANNOUNCEMENT FROM VET EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Dear readers,

On behalf of the Thoi bao Kinh te Vietnam (Vietnam Economic Times) Group and from myself personally, I would like to express our sincere gratitude to you for your support, without which our publications could not survive and develop. Media readership plays a vital role in any publication, as without readership a media organization has no reason to exist.

We are, however, regretful to announce that we must temporarily cease publication of our all newspapers, magazines, and online newspapers in order to restructure operations in accordance with the national roadmap for media development and management.

We apologize for interrupting our information service and hope to be back on track in the not-too-distant future.

I appreciate your understanding.

Yours truly,

Professor Dao Nguyen Cat

Issue

The world experienced a degree of turmoil during 2019, with trade tensions going unresolved and talk of a return to widespread protectionism. Though coming through the year largely unscathed, Vietnam is nonetheless at the mercy of global movements. While 2020 is likely to see it continue its impressive growth journey, care must be taken to avoid the negatives and seize upon the positives as global circumstances play out.
