Vietnam’s consumer prices are expected to rise 25 percent this year, nearly double last year’s rate of inflation, a state-run newspaper quoted the government as saying on Wednesday.

The Planning and Investment Ministry also forecast exports would rise 26 percent to $61.2 billion while imports would grow 29 percent to $80 billion, leaving a trade deficit of $18.8 billion, the Vietnam Economic Times newspaper reported.
