Vietnam GDP Q3 2025 +8.2%

According to the latest data from the National Statistics Office, Vietnam’s economy grew by 8.2 per cent in the third quarter of 2025.

The growth was mainly supported by strong foreign investment and increasing exports, which continued to rise year on year despite the U.S. tariffs introduced in early August.

Between January and September, Vietnam’s GDP rose by 7.8 per cent year on year. Over this period, agriculture, forestry, and fishery advanced by 3.8 per cent, industry and construction by 8.7 per cent, and services by 8.5 per cent.

Industrial production climbed 9.1 per cent in the first nine months of 2025, while foreign investment inflows reached USD 18.8 billion, an 8.5 per cent increase from a year earlier and the highest level in five years.

The tourism sector also played a key role in supporting growth. Foreign arrivals surged 21.5 per cent in the first nine months compared with the same period in 2024, reaching 15.4 million visitors.

Retail sales grew 11.3 per cent, and consumer prices in September were up 3.4 per cent year on year—remaining below the government’s target range of 4.5 to 5 per cent.

In its latest economic outlook, the International Monetary Fund projected Vietnam’s GDP growth rate at 5.2 per cent for 2025.
