Vietnam kept inflation broadly under control in the first half of 2026, but narrowing policy headroom is expected to make price management increasingly challenging in the months ahead.
Vietnam’s inflation rate will come in at 2.25 per cent for the opening months of 2022, which is controllable, State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) Governor Nguyen Thi Hong told the third session of the 15th National Assembly on June 8. The rise mainly stems from higher prices for goods globally. Therefore, until the end of the year, monetary policy must closely follow the disbursement of recovery packages to avoid an impact on inflation.
