VOV.VN - The World Bank has raised its 2026 growth forecast for Vietnam to 7.4%, the largest upward revision in East Asia and the Pacific, as high-tech manufacturing and exports benefit from the global AI investment boom, but the country also faces greater exposure to external supply-chain shocks.

Vietnam is set to top growth charts among developing East Asia and Pacific economies in 2025, with gross domestic product forecast to rise 6.6%, the region's quickest pace, according to the World Bank (WB)'s East Asia and Pacific Economic Update released for October.
