Vietnam’s economy sustained strong momentum in July, supported by stable FDI inflows and a solid trade surplus. The month was marked by a notable development: the U.S. decision to impose a 20% tariff on Vietnamese goods, which is a reduction from the initially announced 46% but still higher than previous levels. 

This moves underscores a shifting and more complex trade environment that Vietnam will need to navigate in the months ahead.

In this edition of our Vietnam Economic News Insight & Recap, we examine key developments shaping Vietnam’s outlook:

  • Stable FDI inflows and steady trade performance in the first seven months of 2025
  • Signs of manufacturing recovery, with tariff concerns weighing on the outlook
  • Industry experts' forecasts for Vietnam’s export trends in the coming months
  • Accelerated plans to establish international financial centers

We hope this month’s publication provides timely insights as Vietnam adapts to evolving global dynamics while pursuing its growth ambitions.
