Viet Nam GDP growth 8.02% in 2025, the economy exceeding $514 billion.
While international organizations such as the IMF and OECD forecast global growth at only 3.1% - 3.2%, Vietnam is considered to have the highest growth rate in Southeast Asia. Specifically, Vietnam's GDP in 2025 is projected to grow by 8.02%, only slightly lower than the record growth rate of 2022 in the entire 2011-2025 period.
Notably, the economy maintains a positive trend with each quarter surpassing the previous one. In particular, the fourth quarter of 2025 is estimated to grow by 8.46% year-on-year, reaching the highest fourth-quarter growth rate in the past 15 years.
The Industry and Construction sector (added value of 8.95%): This is the brightest spot in the 2025 economic picture, with the manufacturing industry growing by 9.97%, the highest growth rate in the 2019-2025 period, playing a leading role in driving overall sector growth.
The Services sector (value added increased by 8.62%): Vibrant trade and tourism activities, with the highest number of international visitors to Vietnam ever, have created strong growth momentum for this sector.
The Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries sector (value added increased by 3.78%): Despite being heavily affected by storms, floods, and landslides, the agricultural sector has maintained stability, ensuring its role as a pillar of the economy.
2025 also marks a historic milestone as Vietnam's GDP officially surpasses US$500 billion (VND 12,847.6 trillion), an increase of US$38 billion compared to 2024.
GDP per capita is estimated at VND 125.5 million (equivalent to US$5,026), an increase of US$326 compared to the previous year.
Labor productivity reached VND 245 million per worker (equivalent to USD 9,809), an increase of 6.83% at constant prices.
The proportion of trained workers is estimated at 29.2%, reflecting a significant improvement in the skill level of the workforce.
According to the General Statistics Office, the economic growth, macroeconomic stability, and improved labor productivity are clear evidence that Vietnam is effectively adapting to new technological trends and AI, while affirming its strong internal capacity in the face of challenges from the international environment. The growth results in 2025 are not only important in completing the 2021-2025 five-year socio-economic development plan but also create a strong impetus for the whole country to enter a new era.
