¡Vietnam despliega un crecimiento económico del 8.23% en Q3 2025 - ritmo más acelerado en tres años!
La economía vietnamita acelera mientras otros mercados emergentes se tambalean
Impulso manufacturero y aumento de exportaciones
Las fábricas funcionan a máxima capacidad mientras la demanda global de productos vietnamitas se dispara. Las zonas económicas especiales reportan niveles de producción récord.
Inversión extranjera directa alcanza nuevos máximos
Los conglomerados internacionales duplican sus apuestas en Vietnam, aprovechando costos laborales competitivos y estabilidad política. Los flujos de capital superan todas las proyecciones del FMI.
El consumidor local reactiva el mercado interno
La confianza del consumidor vietnamita escala a niveles no vistos desde antes de la pandemia. El gasto en retail y servicios crece a doble dígito mes tras mes.
Mientras los bancos centrales globales luchan contra la inflación, Vietnam demuestra que el crecimiento real todavía existe - aunque probablemente los fondos de inversión ya tomaron sus ganancias y se fueron.
Lam ramps up economic reforms before party congress
Lam’s biggest move so far is pushing through “Resolution 68,” a new doctrine approved by the Communist Party Central Committee in May. It declares the private sector “one of the most important driving forces of the national economy.”
That statement shook up the old order, but not everyone knows what it actually means yet. Some companies are waiting for clearer rules before moving forward with deals or hiring. Lam’s team now faces the challenge of preventing the recent shake-ups from clogging decision-making and slowing down investment approvals.
That uncertainty comes at a time when foreign direct investment is still climbing. Disbursed FDI hit $18.8 billion between January and September this year, an 8.5% increase over the same period last year.
Most of that went into manufacturing, where factories scrambled to hit export targets before Trump’s tariffs kicked in this August. Those emergency production sprints helped drive GDP growth up 8.23% in the third quarter. It’s Vietnam’s highest quarterly jump since 2022.
Vietnam’s trade surplus with the U.S. is also getting Trump’s attention. It stood at $123.5 billion last year, trailing only China and Mexico. That’s one of the reasons Trump slapped on the 46% tariff, calling it a fair response to what he claimed were lopsided trade flows.
He also set a 20% levy under a still-unpublished bilateral trade agreement and proposed an additional 40% penalty on trans-shipped goods, products that pass through Vietnam on their way from China to the U.S. That last measure is vague, and even American officials don’t seem to know how it will be enforced.
Stock market surges while IPOs attract global attention
Despite the trade tension, Vietnam’s capital markets are booming.IPOs from Vietnamese companies have raised more money this year than new listings in London. And Hanoi just passed a fresh batch of reforms aimed at loosening rules for international investors.
That includes eliminating foreign ownership caps in some sectors and simplifying listing procedures to draw in more global capital.
The party congress, which happens once every five years, is set for January. Lam’s future will likely be decided there. Until then, the government is walking a tightrope between speeding up reforms and not scaring off officials who still hold power in various ministries.
Le Dang Doanh, a former government adviser based in Hanoi, said departments are stuck in limbo. “Improving the quality of public investment is important,” he said, “but there has to be a clear embrace of openness and transparency.”
Vietnam is now positioned as a real rival to China for manufacturing and exports, but it’s got a balancing act to pull off. Let’s see if it succeeds.
