This study examines the extent to which budget deficit affects economic growth in Vietnam in the 2007-2017 period. Using the panel data regression, where the dependent variable is the economic growth (GDP), independent variables include consumer price index (CPI), foreign direct investment (FDI) and budget deficit (BD), the results show that during the research time frame, budget deficit has a positive correlation with economic growth at a statistically significant level, while no significant correlation is found between CPI and FDI with the dependent variable.
