Vietnam’s consumer price inflation accelerated in May 2026, with the year-over-year Consumer Price Index (CPI) rising to 5.60%, up from 5.46% recorded in April 2026.

The data, updated on 3 June 2026, show that price pressures have continued to build on an annual basis. Both readings compare each month’s CPI to the same month a year earlier, indicating that inflationary momentum has slightly strengthened as the second quarter progresses.

The uptick from April to May suggests that inflation remains elevated and may stay on the radar of policymakers and market participants watching Vietnam’s price dynamics and broader macroeconomic trends.
