VGP – Viet Nam has sustained positive socio-economic performance in the first five months of 2026 despite increasingly complex and unpredictable global developments, particularly the impact of the conflict in the Middle East, Minister of Finance Ngo Van Tuan said.

Addressing the Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, the finance minister said the index of industrial production (IIP) in May was estimated to increase by more than 8.7 percent compared to the same period last year. In the first five months, the index grew by over 9 percent, marking the highest growth rate for the corresponding period since 2021. The manufacturing and processing sector expanded by nearly 9.5 percent.
