Vietnam's economy grew nearly 10 percent in the third quarter

The Vietnamese economy showed almost double-digit growth in July-September, adding 9.95 percent to the same period in 2025, which was the highest rate of increase since the third quarter of 2022. Interfax reports this with reference to data from the local statistical agency.

In the second quarter, the GDP of this Asian country, in which the only legitimate political force is the Communist Party, grew by 8.81 percent, and in general for January-September of this year the growth was 9.01 percent.

The four-year record quarterly growth of Vietnam's national economy was primarily due to industry and the construction industry, which grew by 12.5 percent. The services sector posted a 9.5 percent rise, while agriculture grew at a more modest 4.2 percent.

Hanoi's exports and imports also showed sharp growth both in the third quarter and in all previous months of 2026. In the first case, the indicator increased by 23.3 and 28.8 percent, respectively, and in the second - by 24.5 and 36.7 percent. It is noted that against the backdrop of such dynamics, a record foreign trade deficit of $19.4 billion was recorded in January-September.
