FX.co ★ Vietnam’s Monthly Inflation Cools Sharply in October as CPI Growth Slows to 0.20%

Vietnam’s consumer price growth eased notably in October 2026, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 0.20% month-over-month, down from a 0.62% increase in September 2026. The latest figures, updated on 3 November 2026, point to a marked moderation in short-term inflationary pressures.

On a month-over-month basis, the October reading indicates that prices continued to climb but at a significantly slower pace than in the previous month. In September, the CPI had accelerated by 0.62% versus August, while October’s 0.20% gain suggests a cooling trend as price momentum loses steam.

The shift in the monthly CPI trajectory will be closely watched by market participants and policymakers, as it may signal easing pressure on consumers and could influence expectations for future policy decisions if the pattern of slower price growth continues in the coming months.
