Speaking at a press conference in Hanoi, NSO director general Nguyen Thi Huong said price pressures remained contained despite global volatility. In December 2025, CPI edged up 0.19 per cent month on month (MoM) and was 3.48 per cent higher year on year (YoY) compared with December 2024.
Price growth also remained steady towards the end of the year, with the average CPI for the fourth quarter increasing 3.44 per cent year on year. Core inflation, which excludes volatile items, rose 0.23 per cent MoM in December and 3.27 per cent YoY, while full-year core inflation averaged 3.21 per cent, said Vietnamese media reports.
Currency-related pressures were relatively mild. The US dollar price index increased 0.17 per cent MoM in December and 3.68 per cent YoY, with the annual average for 2025 up 3.92 per cent, reflecting broadly stable exchange-rate conditions.
