Good morning, everyone.

I'm aware that you all have very tight schedules, so I appreciate you taking the time to come here today. For those of you who don't know me, my name is …, and I'm here to talk about our country's economic performance over the past decade.

Now, let me start by asking you a question: Imagine you are an economic analyst. How would you explain the dramatic change we see in this graph?

My talk is particularly relevant to those of you who are involved in long-term strategic planning. My objective is to provide an overview of our GDP growth from 2011 to 2020, and pinpoint the key challenges we faced. I've divided my presentation into three main parts. First, I'll describe the period of steady growth. Then, I'll move on to the abrupt decline in 2020. Finally, I'll offer some concluding thoughts.

My presentation will take about 15 minutes, and there will be time for questions after my talk.

As you can see from this chart, our economy had a very strong and stable period.

I would like to draw your attention to the figures from 2011 to 2019.

Right here in 2011, our growth rate was a healthy 6.24%. After a slight dip in the next two years to a low of 5.25%, the rate quickly recovered.

From 2014 onwards, we saw a positive and steady trend. The growth rate went up consistently, reaching a peak of 7.08% in 2018. It stayed almost the same in 2019, at 7.02%. This shows that our economy was healthy and doing very well.

However, this brings me to my next point, which is the problem we faced in 2020.

I'd like to emphasize that the growth rate plunged to just 2.91%. This was a sharp fall of over 4 percentage points compared to the previous year. What's the reason for this drastic decrease? The unexpected drop was caused by the global economic crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a consequence, the economic activities were severely impacted.

So, while we had a long period of good growth, the year 2020 shows us how quickly things can change due to big events in the world.

Well, this brings me to the end of my presentation.

Thank you all for listening. Now I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Now I’d like to talk about the GDP growth rate in the period from 2011 to 2020.

As we can see from the chart, the growth rate started at 6.24% in 2011, but it dropped to the lowest point of that period, 5.25% in 2012. After that, the rate slightly increased and remained quite stable between 2013 and 2015, around 5.4% to 6%.

From 2016 to 2019, GDP growth was stronger, reaching about 7% in both 2018 and 2019.. This shows a stable and positive economic trend.

However, in 2020, the growth rate fell sharply to only 3% . This was the lowest in the whole period, mainly because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

In conclusion, during this period, Vietnam’s GDP growth was generally stable and positive, but it was strongly affected in 2020.

Thank you.

Today, I would like to draw your attention to the propotion of GDP growth from the line graph in the period 2011-2020. In 2011, the growth rate reached over 6%, but decreased slightly to over 5% in 2012. From 2013 to 2015, the GDP growth rate increased slowly and reached a high of 6.68% in 2015. In 2016, the rate decreased slightly to 6.21%, but from 2017 to 2019, the economy grew strongly, peaking about 7% in 2018. However, in 2020, the GDP growth rate decreased sharply to approximately 3%, which is a significant decrease compared to previous years. In summary, the line chart shows that the economy has had steady and impressive growth for most of the decade, but 2020 was a very challenging year.

Let’s now have a look at the line graph, which shows the GDP growth rate in the period from 2011 to 2020.

You can see that the lowest point is in 2012 and 2013, when the growth was only 5%.

What I’d like to point out here is that from 2014 to 2019, the economy was quite stable, with growth rates between 6% and 7%.

The key figure on the right-hand side shows the highest growth of the period, at about 7% in 2018, followed closely by 7% in 2019.

So I’d like to draw your attention to the year 2020, when the rate dropped sharply to about 3%, mainly because of the global pandemic.

In conclusion, the chart shows that Vietnam’s GDP growth rate was quite stable and strong between 2011 and 2019, mostly staying above 6%. However, in 2020, there was a sharp decline to around 3%, which highlights the serious economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

First, in 2011, the rate was quite high, about 6.24 percent. Then it went down in 2012, only 5.25 percent, but increased again in the following years.

From 2013 to 2018, the growth was more stable. It stayed between 5.42 and 7.08 percent. The highest point was in 2018, about 7.08 percent.

However, in 2020, the growth rate dropped sharply to only 2.91 percent. This is the lowest number in the whole period, maybe because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

So, in general, the GDP had some ups and downs, but mostly it was growing until 2019, before a big fall in 2020.

In 2011, there was 6,24 the proporation of the growth rate. However, it dropped to 5.25% in 2012 and increase slowly with 6,68% in the next 3 years and slightly fluctuating around 6 to 7 percent in the following years. In fact, 2018 recorded the highest growth rate in this period, with 7.08%. However, in 2020, there was a sharp decline to only 2.91%, mainly due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

As we can see from the chart, the growth rate fluctuated over the years.

In 2011, the GDP growth rate was 6.24%. However, it dropped significantly in 2012 to 5.25%, and then remained relatively stable around 5% to 6% until 2014.

From 2015 onwards, the economy showed stronger performance. The GDP growth rate reached 6.68% in 2015, and continued to stay above 6% in the following years. The peak was in 2018, with the highest rate of 7.08%.

However, in 2020, the GDP growth rate fell sharply to only 2.91%. This was mainly due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which seriously affected global and domestic economies.

In summary, the chart shows that Vietnam’s economy experienced stable growth in most years, but faced a significant downturn in 2020.

Thank you very much for your attention.
