VIETNAM'S ECONOMIC OUTLOOK 2025: POWERING GROWTH IN A DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT

Vietnam continues to benefit from the global supply chain shift, attracting FDI flows, particularly in high-tech industries and green production. Infrastructure development in transportation and digital infrastructure, coupled with institutional reforms, is predicted to be a bright spot in the economic growth landscape in 2025. Additionally, innovation and digital transformation are being accelerated, driving productivity and economic efficiency.

International organizations forecast that Vietnam's inflation in 2025 will remain well-controlled, with GDP growth projected to match or exceed 2024 levels by 0.2–0.4%. A bold 8% growth target has been set, requiring extraordinary efforts to identify new growth drivers, especially amid ongoing global economic uncertainties.

In 2025, Vietnam’s economy will face a blend of challenges and opportunities. Factors such as inflationary pressure, exchange rate fluctuations, the slow recovery of export-import markets, and international geopolitical tensions are expected to exert significant influence. To achieve its growth ambitions and continue attracting new FDI inflows, Vietnam is intensifying efforts in streamlining government operations, institutional reforms, and administrative simplifications. The country is also focusing on improving the efficiency of public investment disbursement while fostering innovation and digital transformation.
