With an average annual growth rate of 5.8% over the next five years, Vietnam's GDP is expected to surpass Singapore's, reaching 676 billion USD by 2029. By 2039, Vietnam’s GDP could rise to 1.41 trillion USD, ranking 25th worldwide and becoming Southeast Asia’s third-largest economy, following Indonesia and the Philippines. This significant milestone underscores Vietnam’s resilience amid global challenges. According to the UK centre, while global GDP is expected to double from 110 trillion USD in 2024 to 221 trillion USD by 2039, Vietnam is anticipated to outpace many of its ASEAN neighbours in economic expansion. In terms of GDP per capita, Vietnam is set to cross the upper-middle-income threshold in 2024 with a projected per capita GDP of 4,469 USD. By 2025, this figure is expected to rise to 4,783 USD, officially classifying Vietnam as an upper-middle-income country./.
