Prime Minister Le Minh Hung has asked ministries, sectors and localities to ensure highest determination and set out clear roadmaps and tasks to achieve fourth-quarter and full-year 2026 targets.

Viet Nam has maintained a positive trajectory in socio-economic performance in February and the first two months of 2026, recording notable results across multiple sectors despite both domestic and global challenges, stated Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh while chairing the Government’s regular meeting on March 4.

In the first two months of 2026, Ho Chi Minh City’s economy recorded numerous positive signals, laying the foundation for achieving a first-quarter growth target of over 7%.

Regarded as a particularly significant year for the country, marked by the convergence of difficulties, challenges, internal strengths and a strong reform resolve, 2025 recorded economic growth of 8.02%, leaving a notable imprint amid a complex mix of favourable conditions and headwinds.

After a year marked by many positive highlights, the economy is accumulating additional internal strength, laying the foundations for a higher growth cycle as traditional drivers are sustained and new ones gradually take shape.
