Speaking at a press conference, Ms. Nguyen Thi Huong, Director of the General Statistics Office, said that in the third quarter of 2025, the gross domestic product (GDP) is estimated to increase by 8.23% over the same period last year, just lower than the 14.38% increase in the same period in 2022 in the period 2011 - 2025.
Overall, GDP in the first 9 months is estimated to increase by 7.85% over the same period last year, only lower than the growth rate of 9.44% in the same period in 2022 in the period 2011 - 2025. Of which, the agriculture, forestry and fishery sector increased by more than 3.8%; the industry and construction sector increased by nearly 8.7%; the service sector increased by nearly 8.5%.
According to the representative of the General Statistics Office, in the context of the world situation continuing to develop in a complicated and unpredictable manner, and strategic competition among major countries becoming increasingly fierce, Vietnam's socio -economic development in the third quarter and the first nine months of the year still achieved very positive results, with each month being better than the previous month and each quarter being better than the previous quarter.
In a more specific analysis, Ms. Nguyen Thi Huong said that although the agriculture, forestry and fishery sector was adversely affected by storms and floods, thanks to the timely implementation of measures to respond to and overcome the consequences of natural disasters, agricultural, forestry and fishery production remained stable. Regarding the economic structure in the first 9 months of the year, the agriculture, forestry and fishery sector accounted for more than 11%; the industry and construction sector accounted for nearly 38%; the service sector accounted for nearly 43%; product taxes minus product subsidies accounted for more than 8%.
The average consumer price index (CPI) in the third quarter of 2025 increased by 3.27% over the same period last year. In the first 9 months, the CPI increased by 3.27% over the same period last year, core inflation increased by 3.19%.
The picture of business performance in the first 9 months has also improved. Accordingly, in the first 9 months, the whole country had 145,000 newly registered businesses with a total registered capital of more than 1.4 quadrillion VND and a total number of registered employees of 874,000 - an increase of nearly 19% in the number of businesses, nearly 23% in registered capital and nearly 19% in the number of employees compared to the same period last year.
In addition, the country has more than 86,000 enterprises returning to operation, bringing the total number of newly established and returning enterprises in the first 9 months of 2025 to more than 231,000 enterprises, an increase of more than 26% over the same period in 2024. On average, 25,700 enterprises are newly established and returning to operation each month. Meanwhile, the number of enterprises ceasing operations or withdrawing from the market tends to decrease compared to the same period last year.
Notably, according to the report of the General Statistics Office, foreign direct investment (FDI) implemented in Vietnam in the first 9 months of 2025 is estimated to reach nearly 19 billion USD, up 8.5% over the same period last year. "This is the highest FDI capital implemented in 9 months in the past 5 years," the Director of the General Statistics Office emphasized.
