Vietnam’s economy has continued to demonstrate resilience, with growth rebounding strongly in 2025 after a volatile post-pandemic period. Real GDP expanded by 8.02% in 2025, one of the highest rates in the region, bringing total economic size to approximately USD 514 billion, with GDP per capita reaching USD 5,026.

Macroeconomic stability has been broadly maintained. Inflation remained under control, with average CPI rising 3.31% in 2025, within the National Assembly’s target range. Growth was supported by a recovery in exports, services, and domestic consumption, while industry and construction continued to act as key drivers.

However, the macro environment has become more complex. External factors—including global demand fluctuations and monetary policy uncertainty—have created intermittent pressure on exchange rates and policy coordination. At the same time, domestic challenges such as uneven credit growth and structural weaknesses in key sectors continue to weigh on the sustainability of growth.

Looking ahead, Vietnam remains well-positioned within global supply chain restructuring, supported by resilient FDI inflows and a growing middle class. The key policy challenge is no longer achieving high growth alone, but ensuring that growth is more balanced, resilient, and driven by productivity and deeper capital market development.
