According to Resolution No. 226/NQ-CP, issued on August 5, 2025, the year 2025 holds particular significance as the final year of the 2021–2025 five-year socio-economic development plan. Accordingly, the Government has set a breakthrough growth requirement for the year, laying the groundwork to achieve a GDP growth rate of 10% or higher in 2026.
In the first half of 2025, Vietnam's economy recorded an impressive GDP growth rate of 7.52%, higher than the same period last year and a notable figure compared to global economic performance. This provides the basis for the Government to adjust the annual growth target upward.
To achieve the 2025 GDP growth target of 8.3–8.5%, Resolution No. 226/NQ-CP also sets out the following specific indicators:
-
Average annual CPI: below 4.5%
-
Total social investment: increase by 11–12%
-
FDI attraction: over USD 18 billion
-
FDI disbursement: approximately USD 16 billion
-
Total electricity production and import: increase by 12.5–13%
-
IIP (Index of Industrial Production) growth: 9.5%
-
Growth in retail and consumer services: around 12%
-
B2C e-commerce growth: over 25%
-
Trade surplus in goods: USD 30 billion
The key drivers identified in Resolution No. 226 to achieve the GDP growth target include:
-
Public investment: Disbursement of 100% of the 2025 public investment capital plan; acceleration of major infrastructure projects; target of completing 3,000 km of expressways.
-
Private and foreign direct investment (FDI): Focus on attracting high-tech projects that ensure environmental standards and promote technology transfer.
-
Domestic consumption: Growth in e-commerce and consumption of domestic products.
-
Export: Market expansion and effective utilization of signed free trade agreements (FTAs).
-
Digital transformation, innovation, and green economy: Promotion of emerging industries such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and cultural industries.
