From Grant Thornton Vietnam: Vietnam Economic News Insight & Recap - October 2025

Grant Thornton Vietnam is pleased to share the latest issue of Vietnam Economic News Insight & Recap, our monthly publication offering key updates on Vietnam’s economy. As a professional services firm with deep market expertise, we aim to provide practical insights to help businesses and investors navigate Vietnam's evolving business landscape.

As October closes, Vietnam’s economy shows a clearer trajectory heading into the final months of 2025. Robust manufacturing activity, strong FDI flows, and widening trade surpluses underscore Vietnam’s capacity to maintain momentum and reinforce domestic economic foundations, while strategic international partnerships continue to expand global market integration.

In this edition of our Vietnam Economic News Insight & Recap, we highlight:

• Upward revisions of 2025 GDP growth forecasts for Vietnam from major banks;

• Manufacturing PMI rising to 54.5, signalling better manufacturing conditions;

• Strong FDI attraction and disbursement, supporting production and exports;

• Progress in international engagements, including US trade framework discussions and UK partnership upgrade;

…and much more.

We look forward to sharing these insights each month with you.
