OECD projects strong growth for Vietnam in 2025

Vietnam is set to achieve 6.2% GDP growth in 2025, supported by resilient domestic demand, according to the OECD’s latest economic survey. Inflation is forecast to remain under the central bank’s 4.5–5.0% target, however, structural reforms remain essential. The OECD urged measures to improve competition, foreign investment flows, and labour market access. Recommendations also include phasing out coal, expanding renewable energy, and reforming the tax system to meet climate and social spending needs. With over two-thirds of the workforce still in informal jobs, the report stressed the need for pension access and inclusive education.
