The Consumer Price Index (CPI) for eating outside the family rose slightly by 0.06 percent in November compared to October, according to Vietnam’s General Statistics Office. The CPI in this category stood at 3.87 percent in November, up from 3.81 percent in October, indicating marginal growth in dining-out expenses.
Eating out is a significant aspect of Vietnam’s modern lifestyle, driven by urbanisation and changing consumer preferences. Restaurants, cafes, and street food establishments contribute significantly to the service economy, reflecting broader trends in consumer spending.
This category is closely tied to economic shifts, as changes in income levels, tourism, and seasonal demand often influence dining-out habits. Monitoring price changes in this sector provides valuable insights into consumer behaviour and market dynamics.
