Given the volatile global economy, inflationary pressures are mounting as energy and input material prices rise. The challenge of keeping inflation under control while maintaining growth targets is becoming increasingly demanding for Vietnam. The Government and ministries are rolling out a range of coordinated measures to ensure macroeconomic stability and create room for sustainable growth.
Vietnam recorded 24 export items with turnover exceeding 1 billion USD in the first four months of 2026, with their combined export value accounting for more than 89% of the country’s total exports. Among them, seven commodities posted export earnings of over 5 billion USD each, making up more than 69% of total export revenue.
Soaring domestic gas prices, riding a global fuel rally, alongside steeper costs for dining-out services and construction materials drove Vietnam’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) up 0.84% in April from the previous month, according to the Ministry of Finance’s National Statistics Office.
