FX.co ★ Vietnam’s February Inflation Accelerates to 3.35% Year-on-Year

Vietnam’s consumer price inflation picked up in February 2026, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 3.35% year-on-year, up from 2.53% in January 2026. The latest data, updated on 6 March 2026, signal a noticeable strengthening in price pressures compared with the start of the year.

Both the current and previous readings are calculated on a year-over-year basis, comparing each month’s price levels to the same month a year earlier. The February acceleration suggests that inflationary momentum is building, which could sharpen the focus of policymakers and investors on the trajectory of consumer prices in the months ahead.
