According to a report released on Tuesday by the Economic Agency of the French Ministry of Economy and Finance, Vietnam has demonstrated resilience and maintained strong growth momentum despite slowing global trade, prolonged geopolitical tensions, and persistent disruptions to global supply chains.
The report noted that Vietnam has maintained macroeconomic stability, kept inflation at around 3.3%, kept public debt low, and secured budget balances.
According to the agency, Vietnam, now among Asia’s most dynamic economies, continues to attract substantial foreign investment thanks to its stable political environment, strategic position in global supply chains, and ability to adapt quickly to shifts in the world economy.
The report emphasized that Vietnam’s growth has significantly surpassed forecasts by several international organizations. Earlier projections from the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund had estimated Vietnam’s growth at 6.6% and 6.5%, respectively.
The French Economic Agency highlighted Vietnam’s new long-term development strategy. In 2025, the Politburo issued 4 major resolutions aimed at shaping Vietnam’s economic direction, with the goal of making Vietnam a high-income developed nation by 2045. To achieve that target, Vietnam hopes to maintain an annual growth of 10% or more over the long term, while implementing a 570-billion-USD infrastructure investment program.
