Việt Nam’s Index of Industrial Production (IIP) has risen by 7.2 per cent year-on-year in the first two months of 2025, according to the Ministry of Finance's General Statistics Office. In February, the IIP saw a significant year-on-year increase of 17.2 per cent, though it experienced a month-on-month decline of 2.2 per cent, largely due to the timing of the Lunar New Year celebrations, which in 2024 took place entirely in February.
