Latest Updates

Vietnam’s annual inflation rate rose to 3.58% in November 2025, the highest since January, up from 3.25% in October. The main upward pressure came from faster food inflation (3.29% vs 2.09% in October), driven by higher prices of foodstuffs (3.85% vs 1.96%) and meals and drinks eaten out (4.05% vs 3.96%). Inflation also went up for household goods and equipment (1.78% vs 1.69%) and for medicines and healthcare services (12.65% vs 12.63%), while transport costs rebounded (1.11% vs -0.02%). In contrast, price growth eased for garments, hats, and footwear (1.41% vs 1.50%), beverages and cigarettes (2.20% vs 2.36%), and housing and construction materials (5.73% vs 6.76%). Meanwhile, core inflation, which excludes volatile items, slightly eased to 3.28% from 3.30% in October. On a monthly basis, consumer prices rose by 0.45%, the largest increase in five periods, accelerating from a 0.20% gain in October.
