Specifically, compared to the previous month, CPI in June increased by 0.48% (urban areas increased by 0.5%; rural areas increased by 0.45%). Of the 11 main groups of consumer goods and services, 10 groups increased in price and only the post and telecommunications group decreased in price.
Compared to the same period last year, the CPI in June increased by 3.57%, with 9 groups increasing in price and 2 groups decreasing in price. For the whole second quarter, the CPI increased by 3.31% compared to the same period in 2024.
According to the General Statistics Office, the reasons for this figure are: consumer demand during the April 30-May 1 holidays and the Doan Ngo Festival affecting the food and catering services group; the electricity price index increased; some provinces and centrally-run cities increased tuition fees for the new school year 2024-2025; jewelry prices increased following domestic and world gold prices...
On the other hand, the price index of the transport group decreased by 4.83%, causing the CPI to decrease by 0.47 percentage points, in which gasoline prices decreased by 15.31% according to world prices; the price index of the postal and telecommunications group decreased due to the decrease in the price of old-generation phones.
Thus, after the first 6 months of the year, the average CPI increased by 3.27% over the same period in 2024.
According to the General Statistics Office, core inflation in June increased by 0.31% compared to the previous month and increased by 3.46% compared to the same period last year. On average, in the first 6 months of 2025, core inflation increased by 3.16% compared to the same period last year, lower than the 3.27% increase of the average CPI.
The main reason is that the prices of food, foodstuffs, electricity, and medical services are factors that increase the CPI but are excluded from the list of core inflation.
Regarding the gold and USD price index in June, the General Statistics Office said that as of June 28, the average world gold price was at 3,369.73 USD/ounce, up 1.93% compared to May, mainly due to the combined impact of geopolitical instability in the Middle East, along with increased purchasing power from central banks and gold investment funds.
Domestically, the gold price index in June decreased by 1.27% compared to May, in the context that the State Bank announced that it had completed the draft amendment to the decree on the management of gold trading activities in the direction of removing the monopoly on gold bar production and gold monopoly.
The domestic USD price index also fluctuated in the opposite direction to the world price. As of June 28, this index in the international market reached 98.6 points, down 1.34% compared to the previous month due to the combined impact of expectations that the FED will soon cut interest rates in July. However, domestically, the USD price index increased by 0.32% due to increased demand for foreign currency for import and export payments.

The second quarter also recorded a bright spot in that the gross domestic product (GDP) grew positively, with an estimated growth rate of 7.96% over the same period last year, only lower than the growth rate of 8.56% in the second quarter of 2022 in the 2020-2025 period.
In the first 6 months of the year, GDP increased by 7.52% over the same period last year, the highest level of the first 6 months in the period 2011-2025.
