CLMV OUTLOOK
20 September 2018
CLMV Monitor by EIC Q3/2018
CLMV economic growth remains robust on the back of rising exports and continued infrastructure development. China’s influence over the region has been expanding – led by BRI-related investment, export demand and tourism. Meanwhile, tightening global monetary policy has intensified external vulnerability to some CLMV countries, pressuring on local currency depreciation and elevating debt repayment.
