This strong performance came amid a surge in overall trade. Việt Nam’s total export-import turnover reached $369.62 billion during the period, up 16 per cent annually.
Exports grew at a slightly slower pace than imports, rising 14.9 per cent to $190.73 billion. Imports, on the other hand, jumped 17.3 per cent to $178.88 billion, resulting in a trade surplus of $11.85 billion.
Looking ahead, GDVC Director General Nguyễn Văn Cẩn highlighted several key tasks for the remainder of this year. These include fulfilling budget revenue collection targets; combating crime, smuggling, and trade fraud; launching smart and digital border gates, and enhancing public service discipline.
For 2024, the National Assembly assigned the GDVC a target of collecting VNĐ375 trillion for the state coffer, with VNĐ204 trillion coming from export-import activities.
