HANOI -- Vietnam's gross domestic product grew 7.72% in the April-June quarter compared with the same period last year, the country's General Statistics Office said on Wednesday, as exports to the U.S. remain high and personal spending is recovering due to fewer COVID-19 restrictions.
Growth in the second quarter accelerated from the previous quarter's 5.05% increase. The statistics office raised the country's growth for the first quarter of this year by 0.02% from its previous announcement.
