Vietnam will officially raise its 2025 GDP growth target to 8.0%, up from the previous 6.5%-7.0% range, Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung announced. The country, a key manufacturing hub in Southeast Asia, recorded 7.09% GDP growth last year, ranking among Asia’s fastest-growing economies.
Vietnam’s exports and imports are projected to grow 12% in 2025, with a trade surplus expected to reach $30 billion. Industrial manufacturing and foreign direct investment (FDI) will be the main drivers of economic expansion. FDI inflows are anticipated to hit $28 billion, while domestic retail sales are also forecasted to rise 12%.
Despite strong economic momentum, Vietnam faces challenges, including inflation control and macroeconomic stability. Inflation is expected to range between 4.5% and 5.0% this year. The revised GDP growth target is pending parliamentary approval.
Vietnam’s booming economy continues to attract foreign investors, strengthening its position as a global manufacturing powerhouse.
