VIETNAM TO RANK AMONG TOP 15 LARGEST ECONOMIES IN ASIA BY 2025
Based on data from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Seasia Stats predicts that Vietnam’s economy will reach $506 billion in 2025, earning it a place in the top 15 largest economies in Asia.
“Vietnam is rapidly developing thanks to its manufacturing boom and strong foreign investment inflows,” Seasia Stats noted.
By the end of 2024, Vietnam is projected to achieve a GDP growth rate exceeding 7%, ranking among the fastest-growing economies in the region and the world. Looking ahead to 2025, the government has set an ambitious target of 8% GDP growth, surpassing the 6.5%-7% target previously approved by the National Assembly.
According to Seasia Stats’ rankings, the United States continues to lead the world—a position it has held for over 100 years—with a projected GDP of $30.3 trillion in 2025.
Trailing behind is China, with an anticipated GDP of $19.5 trillion, marking its 15th consecutive year as the world’s second-largest economy. Together, the U.S. and China accounts for approximately 40% of global GDP.
China remains Asia’s largest economy, followed by Japan and India, with GDPs of $4.4 trillion and $4.3 trillion, respectively, significantly behind China.
The fourth spot in Asia goes to South Korea, with an estimated GDP of $1.9 trillion, while Indonesia ranks fifth at $1.5 trillion. Notably, Indonesia is the largest economy in Southeast Asia, bolstered by its abundant natural resources and rapidly growing middle class.
