Gross savings as % of GDP NY.GNS.ICTR.ZS

Overview
Viet Nam's gross savings stood at 34.94% in 2025, a decline of +1.75% from 2024. The IMF projects 34.94% by 2025. Viet Nam ranked 14th globally.
Vietnam’s gross savings rate has risen dramatically since the early 1980s, climbing from 9.66 percent in 1980 to an all‑time peak of 36.69 percent in 2024, before slipping slightly to 34.94 percent in 2025, which places the country 14th globally. The trough of 5.49 percent in 1989 reflects the severe fiscal constraints of the post‑war reconstruction era, after which a series of market‑oriented reforms and export‑driven growth lifted savings consistently throughout the 1990s and 2000s. The 2025 figure is virtually identical to Tanzania’s 34.92 percent and only marginally below Gabon’s 35.41 percent, underscoring Vietnam’s position among emerging economies that are converting rapid income gains into capital formation. The modest decline from the 2024 peak suggests that higher consumption and investment needs may be absorbing a larger share of national income, but the sustained high level indicates a solid base for future infrastructure and productivity upgrades. Continued policy focus on financial deepening and incentive‑compatible savings schemes will be crucial to maintain an upward trajectory.
