Vietnam’s consumer price growth cooled in April 2026, with the country’s month-over-month Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 0.84%, down from a 1.23% increase recorded in March 2026.
The data, updated on 3 May 2026, show that inflationary pressures moderated on a sequential basis: the “actual” April reading reflects price changes versus March, while March’s figure captures the change compared with February. The slowdown suggests a tempering of near-term price momentum after a stronger jump in the previous month.
While still indicating rising prices, April’s softer pace of CPI growth may ease immediate concerns about overheating and give policymakers slightly more room to maneuver as they assess underlying inflation trends going into the coming months.
