VIETNAM STANDS OUT IN SOUTHEAST ASIA

Vietnam ranked first among the six Southeast Asian economies shown in the infographic.

However, one quarter of GDP data only shows part of the economic picture. Investment, manufacturing, exports, consumption and other indicators also need to be considered when looking at long-term growth.

Still, the Q2 2026 figures show Vietnam as one of the notable growth stories in Southeast Asia.
