Of which, the export value reached 34.05 billion USD, down 9.9% (equivalent to a decrease of 3.74 billion USD) compared to August 2024; the import value reached 31.76 billion USD, down 5.9% (equivalent to a decrease of 1.98 billion USD) compared to the previous month. Vietnam's trade balance in September 2024 recorded a trade surplus of 2.29 billion USD.
Of which, exports reached 299.63 billion USD, up 15.4% (equivalent to an increase of 39.91 billion USD) over the same period last year; imports reached 278.84 billion USD, up 17.3% (equivalent to an increase of 41.18 billion USD) over the same period last year. The trade balance in the first 9 months of the year recorded a trade surplus of 20.79 billion USD.
Dr. Le Quoc Phuong - Former Deputy Director of the Center for Industry and Trade Information - Ministry of Industry and Trade said that import and export increased by nearly 16.3%, which is a bright spot of the economy.
Notably, in the current structure of export goods, the agricultural and mineral groups account for only 12%; the industrial group accounts for over 88%. Thus, the high export growth is mainly due to the high export growth of industrial goods. This reflects the goals set forth by import-export strategies and plans.
Agricultural production is also showing many positive signs, despite the complicated developments of climate change. Thanks to that, Vietnam has an abundant source of agricultural products for export in the context of rising export prices.
In the coming time, experts believe that the Ministry of Industry and Trade needs to continue implementing solutions to provide early information about the market, while at the same time, protecting export goods by strengthening early warnings of trade defense solutions.
In 2024, import and export turnover of goods could reach 800 billion USD.
