Vietnam Economy 2025: Strong growth forecast

Vietnam's economy is entering 2025 with many promising signs, attracting special attention from international organizations and foreign experts. A series of prestigious organizations such as WB, ADB, UOB have all given optimistic forecasts about Vietnam's economic growth this year. In the context of the global economy still having many fluctuations, positive assessments of Vietnam's growth prospects are considered a "confidence boost", opening up expectations for a new development cycle.

According to the World Bank’s (WB) latest Vietnam Economic Update, Vietnam’s economy is forecast to grow by 6.6% in 2025, thanks to a 7.5% growth in the first half of the year. The WB said that growth is forecast to slow to 6.1% in 2026, before recovering to 6.5% in 2027 thanks to an upturn in global trade and Vietnam’s continued advantage as a competitive manufacturing destination.

To support growth and minimize external risks, the WB recommends that Vietnam needs to boost public investment, control risks in the financial system, and promote structural reforms.

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has also just raised its forecast for Vietnam's economic growth in 2025 from 6.6% to 6.7% thanks to a positive outlook as Vietnam pushes forward with structural reforms and sustainable infrastructure investment. ADB said that the wave of increased exports before the US imposed new tariffs, along with the Government 's support policies, helped Vietnam's economic growth accelerate in the first half of 2025. However, this rate will slow down in the remaining months due to the reciprocal tax measures taking effect. However, ADB still believes that Vietnam's economy will maintain relative stability, although it will not be able to maintain the strong growth rate as in the first half of the year.
