Central Da Nang city's economy expanded 9.52% in the first half of 2026, ranking 13th among Vietnam's 34 provinces and centrally governed cities and the fastest-growing locality in the country's South Central Coast region, according to the city's Statistics Office.
The strong performance has reinforced the city's determination to achieve double-digit economic growth for the full year.
To meet its 2026 growth target of 11.22%, however, Da Nang will need to maintain even stronger momentum in the second half of the year. City officials said achieving the goal will require coordinated efforts from government agencies, businesses and residents.
Under the city’s Department of Finance's growth scenario, Da Nang must post economic growth of 12.74% in the second half of the year, including 12.48% in the third quarter and 12.99% in the fourth.
Public investment disbursement has provided support for the city's growth strategy. As of June 30, Da Nang had disbursed 41.5% of the public investment capital allocated by the Prime Minister, reflecting continued progress in implementing key infrastructure projects expected to underpin economic expansion during the remainder of the year.
