Hanoi’s exports on upward trend
Hanoi has earned almost US$1.7 billion from exports in the first two months of 2014, up 14.5% from the same period last year.
In February, the capital is estimated to see an export turnover of US$801 million, representing 92.4% of last month’s figure and a 33.9% surge year-on-year.
Most commodity groups have enjoyed growth in their exports, except for agricultural products (down 13.8%), and computer components and peripheral devices (down 29.9%).
Manufacturing for export in Hanoi is reportedly accelerating as many businesses have won shipment contracts and regained production tempo after the long Lunar New Year holiday.
