Vietnam’s Key Economic Zones

Vietnam has four key economic regions (KER) in the north, south, central, and Mekong Delta areas. Each plays a pivotal role in Vietnam’s economic growth and development.

As the new year unfolds, Vietnam emerges with promising growth prospects, backed by positive forecasts from both local and global institutions. In October of last year, economists at HSBC projected that Vietnam would lead the six largest Southeast Asian economies in GDP growth for 2025. This optimistic outlook is fueled by strong foreign direct investment, resilient export performance, and a steady rebound in domestic demand. HSBC forecasts Vietnam’s GDP to grow by 6.5 percent, narrowly surpassing the Philippines' expected growth of 6.4 percent.
