The country’s exports this year hit US$56.5 billion, down 9.9 percent against last year and 3 percent short of projected target, according to the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
In the meantime, exports from other regional countries slumped quite badly in recent months, such as Japan (by 36 percent in August, the lowest level in 11 months), Thailand (by 23.5 percent in 10 months) and China (by 23 percent on eight months).
On account of declining prices, import turnover also decreased by US$13.3 billion, demonstrating that domestic businesses had taken full use of the stimulus package to import and stockpile products.
