After every effort was made to regain growth momentum in October, exports suddenly fell 3.6 per cent in November. In the first eleven months of the year, exports were down 5.9 per cent over the same period last year. According to the General Statistics Office of Vietnam (GSO), most industries are facing difficulties in export markets, especially key export markets. With this result, the targeted $393-394 billion in export revenue for 2023 as a whole is now impossible, because revenue in December would need to stand at $70.5 billion. August saw the highest export turnover this year, with $32.37 billion, which then fell in September to $31.41 billion. In October, it increased again, reaching $32. 31 billion, but in November fell to $31.08 billion.
