In the first 9 months of 2025, Vietnam has continued its growth momentum, with key economic metrics indicating a positive outlook.
- The nation’s 9M GDP grew by 7.9% YoY and is projected to reach c.8% growth for the full year
- While impacted by US reciprocal tariffs, uncertainty has been partially mitigated following the bilateral agreement and observed export growth of c. 15% y/o/y
- This growth is supported by continued strong macroeconomic fundamentals, including robust GDP performance, ample FDI inflows, and strong export growth
- Furthermore, a large-scale administrative reform—which involves merging ministries and abolishing the district-level administration—along with extensive public investment plans, is expected to bolster future growth
- On the stock market front, this positive backdrop, combined with FTSE's decision to upgrade Vietnam's market status and the government's ambitious growth targets, has bolstered investor sentiment, propelling the VN-Index to a historic peak.
