The article notes that Viet Nam has shown remarkable resilience against global pressures, with gross domestic product (GDP) in Q2 2025 growing by 7.96% year-on-year despite elevated inflation, reflecting a balance between growth and stability.

The report highlights that Viet Nam’s inflation in the second quarter of 2025, though higher than the 3.01% recorded in the first quarter, remained within the government’s target of 4.5%, and the inflationary pressure was well within manageable limits.

For investors, controlled inflation coupled with robust growth represents two key factors attracting long-term investment into one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic markets.

According to the author, the consumer sector is undergoing transformation. Retail sales in the first half of the year rose by 9.3%, driven by a recovery in tourism and rising incomes.

The Vietnamese government’s efforts to promote the digital services sector and foster ESG-aligned (environmental, social, and governance) consumer behaviour further enhance the sector’s appeal.

Vietnamese Government has demonstrated flexibility in addressing challenges - from administrative reforms to accelerate project approvals to proactive fiscal policies supporting infrastructure development.
