Vietnam Posts Fastest Growth Since 2022 as Factories Rev Up

Vietnam’s economy grew at the fastest pace in three years last quarter, as factories went into overdrive shipping goods to the US before higher tariffs took effect early August.

Gross domestic product rose 8.23% in the July-September period from a year earlier, according to data from the National Statistics Office in Hanoi on Monday. That’s faster than the 7.15% median estimate of analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. Second-quarter growth was revised up to 8.19% from an earlier estimate of 7.96%.
