Vietnamese shares were mixed on economic data for 1H 2012. The market closed mixed on economic data released by the GSO on Friday. Economic growth of 4.66% in the second quarter came in slightly better than a previous government estimate of 4.5% at the recent NA meeting. With GDP growth of 4.38% yoy for 1H 2012, the full year GDP target of 6-6.5% still seems a bit challenging. We maintain our forecast GDP growth of 5.5% for the year.
