emirates7 - The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has revised its 2024 and 2025 growth projections for Vietnam upward to 6.4% and 6.6%, respectively, from earlier estimates of 6.0% and 6.2%. This adjustment reflects stronger trade performance and the impact of continued fiscal stimulus measures, as reported by the Vietnam News Agency (VNA).
In its latest Asian Development Outlook (ADO) report, the ADB emphasized that increased public investment, along with supportive fiscal and monetary policies, is expected to further boost domestic demand.
Conversely, growth forecasts for Asia and the Pacific have been slightly reduced to 4.9% in 2024 and 4.8% in 2025, due to weaker domestic demand expectations in South Asia.
Inflation rates for the region were also revised downward, with 2024 now forecast at 2.7% (down from 2.8%) and 2025 at 2.6% (down from 2.9%).
Southeast Asia’s growth outlook for 2024 saw an improvement, increasing to 4.7% from 4.5%, supported by stronger manufacturing exports and higher public capital investments in larger economies. The region’s 2025 growth projection remains steady at 4.7%.
