What the Data Shows
Vietnam’s exports of goods and services equalled 90.17% of GDP in 2024, while imports equalled 83.72%. Adding the two ratios gives a trade-openness measure of 173.89% of GDP. Exports exceeded imports by 6.45 percentage points of GDP. Because exports and imports are gross flows, the 173.89% measure is not a part-to-whole composition.

Data notes & caveats
The combined trade-to-GDP ratio is an openness indicator and can exceed 100%. It is not a composition of GDP.
Methodology
Matched 2024 World Bank export-to-GDP and import-to-GDP ratios are added to calculate trade openness. The export-minus-import difference is also calculated as a percentage-point support metric.
Source consistency notes
Both component ratios use Vietnam’s 2024 GDP denominator and World Bank World Development Indicators source family.
