HANOI — Vietnam's economic growth is seen slowing down to 3%-4% this year from an expansion of 7.02% last year due to wider impacts of the coronavirus pandemic, a group of government economic advisors said on Thursday.

Inflation will be kept below 4% this year, they said in a statement on a government website, following a meeting with Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc.

Vietnam will consider further cutting policy rates to support economic growth, according to the statement.
