Viet Nam recorded a trade deficit of 7.11 billion USD in the first four months of 2026, according to the National Statistics Office under the Ministry of Finance.

The National Assembly (NA) Standing Committee has urged the Government to remain vigilant against mounting macroeconomic risks, including inflationary pressures, volatile energy prices, a potential shift toward a trade deficit, slow public investment disbursement, and uncertainties in financial, monetary and gold markets, while calling for updated policy scenarios to safeguard growth and stability.
