Vietnam entered 2026 with strong economic momentum, supported by exports, manufacturing and investment. The World Bank continues to highlight private investment and FDI as important drivers.
However, imports growing faster than exports can reduce the contribution of net exports and increase pressure on the current account and exchange rate.
Vietnam’s growth model is therefore evolving toward a combination of investment, manufacturing and domestic demand.
Investment perspective: long-term opportunities remain attractive, particularly among companies benefiting from FDI, localisation and sound balance sheets.
