Viet Nam’s economic prospects for 2026 remain positive thanks to stable macroeconomic fundamentals and strong domestic growth drivers although global geopolitical tensions and trade policy shifts may pose new risks, analysts at United Overseas Bank (UOB) said in a recent report.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on March 4 urged ministries, sectors and localities to closely monitor global and domestic developments and act flexibly and effectively to maintain macro-economic stability, control inflation and achieve key development targets, including double-digit growth.

The ASEAN+3 Macroeconomic Research Office (AMRO) forecasts Viet Nam’s GDP growth in 2026 at 7.6%, the highest among ASEAN+3 economies, in its quarterly update of the ASEAN+3 Regional Economic Outlook (AREO) released on January 21.
