In September 2025, Vietnam experienced a rise in its annual inflation rate to 3.38%, marking the highest level in three months, up from 3.24% in August.

Conversely, inflation eased in certain areas, such as food and non-alcoholic beverages, which decreased to 2.06% from 2.58%, and housing and construction materials, which fell to 6.87% from 6.99%. The garment, hat, and footwear sector also experienced a slight decline in inflation, moving to 1.41% from 1.49%. Inflation rates remained mostly stable for medicines and health care services, staying virtually unchanged at 12.62% compared to 12.64%, and for other goods and services, which slightly decreased to 2.88% from 2.91%.
