Chinese media outlets, including The Paper, CRI, Sohu, Sina, the Guangdong E-Commerce Association’s website, and BWC, have recently highlighted Vietnam’s significant economic achievements in 2024 and its promising outlook for 2025.
Reports indicate that Vietnam’s GDP grew by 6.42% in the first half of 2024, with projections suggesting it will surpass 6.8% for the entire year. Some forecasts are even more optimistic, anticipating growth reaching 7%, which would exceed the Vietnamese Government’s expectations and outperform the average growth rate in recent years.
Looking ahead, Vietnam is expected to maintain its growth momentum into 2025 and beyond, achieving breakthroughs and diverse development across various sectors. Export-driven industries are projected to continue thriving as the global economy recovers and Vietnam’s role in global supply chains strengthens. Domestic consumption and investment are also anticipated to serve as key drivers of economic growth.
Chinese media have also highlighted Vietnam’s proactive efforts in industrial upgrading and transformation, focusing on transitioning from traditional labor-intensive industries to technology-driven sectors. The Vietnamese government is increasing support for high-tech and green energy sectors, aiming to boost the economy’s value-added potential and competitiveness.
Tourism, considered a key pillar of Vietnam’s economic growth, is poised for a boom as the global tourism market recovers and local infrastructure improves. The nation is also making progress in digital economy development and technological innovation, integrating advanced technologies like the Internet, Big Data, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) into its real economy. This integration is expected to inject fresh vitality into the economy, improving production efficiency and service quality, and driving high-quality development.
Furthermore, Chinese media have spotlighted Vietnam’s active participation in international cooperation, regional integration, and economic, trade, and people-to-people exchanges with neighboring nations. By promoting mechanisms like the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), Vietnam is expected to play an increasingly pivotal role in regional and global economic landscapes.
