In a report published on June 2nd, the French Ministry of Economy and Finance assessed that Vietnam has demonstrated resilience and maintained strong growth momentum amidst declining global trade, prolonged geopolitical conflicts, and challenges facing supply chains.

The report notes that Vietnam has maintained macroeconomic stability with inflation controlled at around 3.3%, low public debt, and secure budget balances. This is one of Vietnam's outstanding achievements.

The report assesses that Vietnam is one of the most dynamic economies in Asia, continuing to strongly attract foreign investment thanks to its stable political environment, strategic location in the global supply chain, and ability to adapt quickly to fluctuations in the world economy. The report emphasizes that Vietnam's growth results have far exceeded the forecasts of many international organizations.

Previously, the World Bank (WB) projected Vietnam's growth at 6.6%, while the International Monetary Fund (IMF) projected 6.5%. The report highly praised the ongoing administrative reforms, including the restructuring of the state apparatus, streamlining intermediate levels, and promoting the role of the private sector.

According to French experts, identifying the private sector as the most important growth driver, along with the development orientation of high-tech industries such as artificial intelligence (AI), semiconductors, and digital technology, demonstrates Vietnam's determination to transform its growth model, improve productivity, and participate more deeply in global value chains.

The report suggests that Vietnam possesses many advantages to remain among Asia's fastest-growing economies. Success in the coming period will depend on its ability to capitalize on opportunities from international integration while simultaneously building new growth drivers from within the economy, thereby creating a solid foundation for the goal of becoming a high-income country by 2045.
