Vietnam's manufacturing PMI rises in March amid modest recovery signs
Vietnam’s manufacturing sector showed signs of recovery in March 2025, with the PMI rising to 50.5—the first expansion in four months—driven by renewed growth in output and new orders. However, international demand remained weak, leading to falling export orders and cautious hiring and purchasing. Input cost inflation eased, prompting firms to lower selling prices for the third month.
