In 2024, the consumer price index (CPI) rose by an average of 3.63% compared to 2023, remaining below the target set by the National Assembly. This marks a decade of Vietnam's successful inflation control, with an average rate below 4%. Experts suggest that maintaining a CPI increase of around 4.5% in 2025 to support a substantial 8-10% growth will be a challenging task, requiring decisive and meticulous management from governing bodies from the get-go.
