Bac Ninh is the locality with negative growth due to the sharp decline of the industrial sector. According to the assessment of the General Statistics Office, the main reason for the sharp decline is the weakening of international consumer demand as some countries fall into recession and inflation, thereby greatly affecting the import and export activities of enterprises, especially product exports.

Not only that, many businesses in Bac Ninh have had their orders cut or orders sporadic, forcing them to reduce their production scale, forcing workers to quit their jobs or reduce their working hours, or even dissolve. Along with that, the FDI sector, which is the economic driving force of Bac Ninh, is also facing many problems that need to be resolved.
