Giải mã nhập siêu kỷ lục: Tỷ giá, lạm phát, lãi suất nửa cuối 2026 ra sao? | Macro Insight

The first five months of 2026 witnessed a significant shift in Vietnam's trade balance, moving from a large surplus to a large deficit. In May alone, the deficit was estimated at approximately US$5.2 billion. Given Vietnam's highly open economy, this change quickly became a focal point of market attention. However, views on the current trade deficit are not entirely unified. One perspective suggests that the sharp increase in imports reflects a recovering demand for machinery, equipment, and raw materials for production. Conversely, some more cautious opinions argue that today's increase in imports cannot automatically translate into future increases in exports, especially given the uncertainties facing the global trade environment stemming from tariff policies and protectionist trends. In this episode, Data Talk | Macro Insight follows a logical progression from trade – exchange rates – inflation – interest rates to decipher the ongoing fluctuations in the economy. This program analyzes the nature of the current trade deficit, the role of FDI inflows, the impact of new international trade policies, and why the exchange rate remains relatively stable despite a significant trade deficit. In the context of a market entering a new cycle of volatility with intertwined pressures, the DataTalk | Macro Insight broadcast, themed “Decoding the Record Trade Deficit: Exchange Rates, Inflation, and Interest Rates in the Second Half of 2026,” is being conducted in preparation for the Vietnam Investment Forum 2026 - Summer Summit, which will take place on June 11th in Hanoi. The event will focus on the macroeconomic picture, the outlook for asset classes in the second half of the year, and will also include a discussion branch on AI and Big Data as new variables in investment and financial product development.
