This was despite market expectations of a $150 million deficit.

OCBC noted:

Vietnam posted a strong $100 million trade surplus in July despite market expectations of a $150 million deficit.

Inflation continues to slow to a 32 month low of -0.29% mom in July, giving SBV more room to loosen its monetary policy to support growth.

Government debt is to adhere to a lower cap of 55% of GDP by 2020. Debt accumulation is also not allowed to exceed 25% of total state budget revenue every year.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
