The strong improvement in services was another factor that supported growth.<\/p>\n<p>The nation\u2019s main stocks index was little changed after the data at 9:19 a.m. local time.<\/p>\n<p>The better-than-expected showing gives Vietnam\u2019s central bank the space to wait-and-watch before deciding to pivot monetary policy away from tightening.

Core inflation excludes fuel, food and education prices. It rose at 4.99% faster than the previous year.<\/p>\n<p>Vietnam will struggle to keep inflation in check next year, according to Bui Thuy Hang, the central bank\u2019s deputy head of monetary policy department.
