- Electricity price cut and fuel tax reduction help curb inflation pressure at year-end
From November 1, 2026, the average retail electricity price drops 2% and the special consumption tax on petroleum is cut to 0%, which could lower fuel prices by about 1,500–1,700 VND per liter. Nguyen Tien Thoa, chairman of the Vietnam Valuation Association, says both measures will ease costs for businesses, with steel production costs down about 0.12%, cement about 0.3%, and textiles about 0.2%, while helping lower CPI and household spending. CPI in the first nine months of 2026 reached 4.52%, slightly above target, and year-end demand, credit growth, energy prices and the USD exchange rate remain inflation risks. He says keeping CPI within 4.5–5% would be a successful outcome. Ngo Tri Long of the Vietnam Financial Consulting Association agrees, saying the cuts help consumers and businesses and support both growth and inflation control.

The Deputy PM directed EVN to review and cut costs to propose a reduction in the average retail electricity price, applicable from 01/11/2026 to 31/03/2027, with the Ministry of Industry and Trade to provide its opinion. The Ministry of Finance was tasked with reviewing a proposal to cut the special consumption tax on all gasoline types to 0% over the same period, with a report to the competent authority due before 01/11/2026.
- Fourteen of 15 key targets for 2026 to be met or exceeded: PM
Prime Minister Lê Minh Hưng told the opening sitting of the second session of the 16th National Assembly that 14 of 15 key socio-economic targets for 2026 are expected to be met or exceeded. GDP grew 9.95 per cent in the third quarter and 9.01 per cent over nine months, with state budget revenue estimated at VNĐ3.06 quadrillion (US$118.17 billion), up 14 per cent, and the budget deficit at around 4.1 per cent of GDP. Industry and construction grew 11.21 per cent, foreign trade turnover rose 30.4 per cent with the full-year figure projected at $1.11 trillion, and registered FDI reached $50.36 billion, up 76.4 per cent. Hưng acknowledged pressure on macroeconomic governance and inflation control, elevated interest rates, and SMEs' ongoing difficulties in accessing land and credit. For 2027, the target is GDP growth of 10 per cent or higher, with average CPI growth around 4.5 per cent, while Việt Nam ranked 43rd of 139 economies in the 2026 Global Innovation Index.
- Choosing the right breakthrough to reach a growth target of 10% or higher
Phan Van Mai, chair of the National Assembly's Economic and Financial Committee, said reaching a growth target of 10% or higher in 2027 depends on choosing the right breakthrough and improving implementation, productivity and economic self-reliance. The committee's review says growth is high but its foundations are weak: the four largest localities, which account for nearly 47% of national GRDP, are all expected to miss their 2026 targets. Exports rose 24.5% while imports rose 36.7%, leaving a trade deficit of US$19.42 billion. Average CPI for nine months rose 4.52%, and credit growing faster than deposit mobilization added pressure on macroeconomic stability. Public investment disbursement reached 62.9% of plan, but 37% of disbursed funds were unrecovered advances. The report urged the government to set clear responsibilities, deadlines and outputs.
- Vietnam targets GDP growth of at least 10 % in 2027
Vietnam's report on its 2026 socioeconomic performance and 2027 plan sets 45 key targets, including CPI growth of about 4.5%, export growth of 15%, import growth of 12%, and 28-29 million international visitors. The government plans to coordinate fiscal and monetary policy, keep electricity, fuel and medicine supplies stable, and boost domestic demand, while prioritizing infrastructure such as completing the expressway network, the Lao Cai-Hanoi-Hai Phong railway and Long Thanh and Gia Binh airports, and curbing wasteful investment. GDP grew 9.01% in January-September 2026, and state budget revenue reached VND2.19 quadrillion, equal to 86.5% of the annual target and up 12.1%. Inflation of 4.52% and difficulties accessing capital for small businesses remain key challenges, with 24 of 34 cities and provinces growing below their full-year targets over nine months.
- 2027 Operating Scenario: Must Account for the Lagged Effects of 2026 Shocks
At the opening of the second session of the XVI National Assembly, Phan Văn Mãi, Chairman of the National Assembly's Committee on Economic and Financial Affairs, said the 2027 operating scenario must account for the lagged effects of 2026 shocks, including energy prices that may stay high and “pent-up” inflation as tax and fee support measures are adjusted. The committee urges contingency plans and clear response thresholds, and warns that high growth targets should not erode room for stability. It broadly agrees with the government's direction, targets and 11 groups of tasks, but calls the GDP growth target of 10% or more a major challenge. Some members asked for a clearer growth scenario, CPI control room of around 4.5%, and fewer spread-out tasks with clearer priorities.

- Defying US blockade, 9 Iranian oil and gas tankers enter Southeast Asian waters before heading straight to neighboring Vietnam
Fox News, citing the advocacy group UANI, reported that at least 9 Iranian oil or LPG tankers have slipped past the US naval blockade reimposed in July 2026.
