FX.co ★ Vietnam’s Inflation Edges Up in October as CPI Hits 5.09% YoY

Vietnam’s consumer price inflation inched higher in October 2026, with the year-over-year Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising to 5.09%, just above September’s 5.08% reading. The latest figure, updated on 3 November 2026, indicates that inflationary pressures remain persistent, though largely stable, on an annual basis.

Both the current and previous readings compare price levels with the same month a year earlier, underscoring that Vietnam’s inflation rate has plateaued at slightly above 5% over recent months. The marginal uptick from September to October suggests that while price growth is not accelerating sharply, it also shows limited signs of easing, keeping inflation in focus for policymakers and investors monitoring the country’s economic trajectory.
