Economic growth reached 5.11 percent, driven by robust household consumption and steady investment. Inflation was kept at 2.92 percent year-on-year, preserving purchasing power and optimizing social protection programs.
To further stimulate the economy, the government deployed stimulus packages totaling approximately $6.92 billion throughout 2025.
