Amidst Vietnam's GDP growth of approximately 8% by the end of 2025, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has announced a goal to achieve double-digit GDP growth rates in 2026. He emphasized that macroeconomic stability and inflation control remain key priorities.
The Prime Minister made this statement while opening the first meeting of the Committee for Management and Coordination of Macroeconomic Policy, which took place in Hanoi on December 29th.
The Prime Minister noted that public, government, and external debt must remain within safe and controlled limits. GDP growth, he said, should be dynamic, but sustainable and balanced.
He also instructed the implementation of a flexible and well-considered monetary policy and the launch of a national gold trading exchange in the near future.
Special attention was paid to foreign trade: The Ministry of Industry and Trade was recommended to actively support exports, strengthen positions in traditional markets and enter new markets, as well as accelerate negotiations and the signing of free trade agreements.
Thus, Vietnam concludes 2025 with solid macroeconomic indicators: inflation remains under control, and GDP growth for the year is estimated at approximately 8%.
