Vietnam’s consumer price inflation accelerated slightly in March 2026, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising 1.23% month-on-month, up from a 1.14% increase in February 2026. The latest data, updated on 4 April 2026, signal a modest strengthening in price pressures across the economy.
On a month-over-month basis, the “actual” March reading compares the change in prices from February to March, while the “previous” figure reflects the change from January to February. The uptick from 1.14% to 1.23% suggests that momentum in consumer prices has continued to build, albeit gradually.
While the data set does not break down price movements by sector, the headline figures will be closely watched by policymakers and investors for signals on the trajectory of inflation and any potential implications for monetary or fiscal policy in Vietnam in the coming months.
