河内——越南第三季度经济增长率为9.95%，这是四年来最快的增速。该国统计局周六表示，这一增长速度较4月至6月的初步数据（8.81%）有所加快，主要得益于工业和建筑行业的强劲发展。
HANOI -- Vietnam's economy grew 9.95% in the third quarter, its fastest pace in four years, marking an acceleration from a revised 8.81% figure for April-June and supported by strong growth in industry and construction, the country's statistics office said on Saturday.
今年前九个月的国内生产总值（GDP）增长率为9.01%，这意味着越南需要在第四季度实现至少12%的增长率，才能实现政府设定的全年GDP增长目标（10%）。国家统计局还上调了第一季度的增长率至8.15%。
Expansion in gross domestic product over the first nine months of this year stood at 9.01%, meaning the economy will need to grow by at least 12% in the final quarter to achieve the government's 10% full-year GDP target The National Statistics Office also revised up first-quarter growth to 8.15%.
国家统计局国民经济核算系统部门的负责人阮氏梅汉（Nguyen Thi Mai Hanh）表示，越南需要在第四季度实现至少12.5%的增长率才能达成全年增长目标。
Nguyen Thi Mai Hanh, director of the National Accounts System Department at the NSO, said the economy would need to expand by at least 12.5% in the fourth quarter to achieve the full-year growth target.
她指出：“这是一个极具挑战性的目标。”她认为主要困难包括贸易环境的不确定性、全球供应链的变动、能源及原材料成本的上升，以及加快公共投资支出的压力。
"This is a highly demanding and challenging target," she said, citing trade uncertainties, shifts in global supply chains, rising energy and input costs and pressure to accelerate public investment disbursement as the main challenges.
SSI证券公司的首席经济学家兼研究主管范卢洪（Pham Luu Hung）也指出了这一目标的难度：“虽然实现全年10%的增长率是可能的，但仍然充满挑战，因为第四季度的增长率需要达到同比12%左右。”SSI证券公司此前预测7月至9月第三季度的GDP增长率将在8.7%至9.3%之间。
Pham Luu Hung, chief economist and head of research at SSI Securities, also noted the difficulty. "Achieving 10% growth for the full year is possible but remains challenging, as fourth-quarter growth would need to reach around 12% year on year," Hung said. SSI Securities had forecast GDP expansion of between 8.7% and 9.3% for the July-September third quarter.
第三季度，越南的出口额同比增长30.4%，达到1678.5亿美元；进口额则同比增长42.2%，达到1703.3亿美元。今年前九个月，越南出现了194.2亿美元的贸易逆差。其中，美国是越南最大的出口市场（出口额为140亿美元），中国则是最大的进口来源国（进口额为1873.4亿美元）。
Vietnam's exports in the third quarter rose 30.4% year on year to $167.85 billion, while imports surged 42.2% during the same period to $170.33 billion. For the first nine months, Vietnam posted a trade deficit of $19.42 billion. The U.S. was its largest export destination during January-September, at $140 billion, while China was the biggest source of imports at $187.34 billion.
不过，9月份越南实现了今年的首个月度贸易顺差，顺差金额为12.7亿美元。
September, however, marked the country's first monthly trade surplus of the year, at $1.27 billion.
9月，消费者价格指数同比上涨5.08%，为四个月来最高水平。由于中东冲突导致燃料成本高企，以及炎热天气导致电力需求强劲，5月通胀率达到了5.6%的峰值，为2020年1月以来的最高水平。
In September, the consumer price index rose 5.08% from a year earlier, the highest level in four months. Inflation peaked at 5.6% in May, its highest level since January 2020, due to high fuel costs amid the Middle East conflict and strong electricity demand caused by hot weather.
1月至9月，通胀率平均为4.5%，达到了国家领导人设定的全年4.5%的上限。
In January-September, inflation averaged 4.5%, hitting the full-year cap of 4.5% set by the country's leaders.
根据国家统计局的数据，1月至9月，外国直接投资流入同比增长12%，达到210.7亿美元，为过去5年来最高的九个月水平。
