The adjustment was announced in official dispatch No. 7291/BCT-KHTC, sent to the Ministry of Finance to implement government resolutions 230/NQ-CP and 226/NQ-CP on sectoral and regional growth plans. The move aims to help secure the national economic growth target of 8.3–8.5% in 2025.
In the first eight months of 2025, Vietnam’s e-commerce sector recorded growth of 25–27%, surpassing initial projections. Riding this momentum, the ministry revised its full-year scenario, lifting the nationwide growth forecast.
For the fourth quarter, October growth is projected at 32% (vs. the earlier 23%), November at 34% (vs. 24%), and December at 35% (vs. 28%). The average for the quarter is now set at 33.67%, nearly 8% higher than previous estimates.
To sustain expansion, the ministry pledged full implementation of Resolutions 230 and 226, alongside measures to support businesses in adopting technology, expanding digital payment systems, and strengthening supply-demand linkages. It will also coordinate with local authorities on consumer stimulus programs.
