Vietnam Growth Outlook Leads ASEAN+3 in 2026 and 2027

Vietnam growth outlook remains the strongest in the ASEAN+3 region, with the ASEAN+3 Macroeconomic Research Office forecasting GDP growth of 7.4% in 2026 and 7.1% in 2027, after an estimated 8% in 2025.

Inflation is projected at 3.8% in 2026 and 3.4% in 2027. AMRO said the Vietnam growth outlook is underpinned by strong domestic demand, stable inflation, robust exports, solid foreign investment inflows and strength in high-tech manufacturing and electronics.

Across ASEAN+3, growth is forecast at 4.0% in both years, though the organisation warned that prolonged Middle East tensions could lift energy prices, disrupt supply chains and weigh on tourism and food costs.
