HANOI, Apr 2 (Reuters): Vietnam's leader on Monday raised the 2018 growth target for this year to at least 6.7 per cent and said the Southeast Asian country must keep opening up for foreign and domestic investors.
Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc also told a cabinet meeting that high inflation is threatening to return, according to a statement on the government's website.
Phuc's comments come shortly after Vietnam reported annual economic growth of 7.38 per cent for January-March, the fastest first-quarter expansion in a decade.
In October, the government had set a 2018 growth target of 6.5- 6.7 per cent.
