HÀ NỘI — The Ministry of Finance on January 6 held a conference to review its performance in 2025 and roll out tasks for 2026, with Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính in attendance. Deputy Prime Ministers Hồ Đức Phớc and Nguyễn Chí Dũng also joined the event.
Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Nguyễn Hoàng Giang, Vice Chairman Nguyễn Ngọc Sâm and representatives of provincial departments attended via a video link from Quảng Ngãi Province.
In 2025, the Ministry of Finance worked to overcome challenges and ensured smooth and effective operations, fully performing its expanded functions and tasks following organisational restructuring and mergers.
The sector made significant contributions to national socio-economic achievements in 2025 and throughout the 2020–2025 term, helping to lay a solid foundation for the next development phase.
Macroeconomic stability was largely maintained, inflation remained under control and major economic balances were secured.
GDP growth in 2025 is estimated at around 8 per cent, with an average of 6.3 per cent over five years.
GDP per capita is projected to exceed US$5,000, about 1.4 times higher than in 2020, placing Việt Nam in the upper-middle-income group.
State budget revenue in 2025 is estimated at about VNĐ2.65 quadrillion, equivalent to 134.74 per cent of the target and up 30.3 per cent year-on-year.
The additional resources supported wage policy reform, addressed urgent issues, boosted development investment and ensured social welfare.
Public investment reached a record VNĐ1.15 quadrillion, with strong efforts to accelerate disbursement and remove bottlenecks.
By the end of 2025, Việt Nam completed 3,345km of expressways, or 3,803km including interchanges and access roads, as well as 1,701km of coastal roads, surpassing set targets.
Foreign direct investment remained a bright spot, with registered capital estimated at over US$38.4 billion and realised capital at about US$27.62 billion, the highest level in the 2021–2025 period.
Large-scale projects in electronics, semiconductors, digital transformation and artificial intelligence underscored Việt Nam’s growing role in global high-tech supply chains.
Looking ahead to 2026, the Ministry of Finance and the finance sector will continue comprehensive reforms in thinking and action, aiming to support economic growth of 10 per cent or higher, maintain major balances, strengthen social welfare and improve living standards in pursuit of fast and sustainable development.
