According to the General Statistics Office of Vietnam (GSO), export turnover of goods in the opening two months of the year is estimated at $59.34 billion, up 19.2 per cent over the same period last year. Import turnover of goods, meanwhile, is estimated at $54.62 billion, up 18 per cent over the same period last year. Although the proportion of turnover and exports from domestic enterprises remain much lower than those of foreign-invested enterprises (FIEs), their growth rate is higher. This is a remarkable bright spot, showing that the “internal strength” of Vietnam’s business sector is indeed improving. Import-export activities, especially Vietnam’s exports, in the first two months continued to achieve positive results. This can be viewed as a favorable beginning to 2024, bringing expectations that exports for the year as a whole will see “breakthroughs”.
