According to HCM City Customs Department, in 2020, a number of manufacturing, trading, and import-export sectors have negative growth.The business community hassuffered from difficulties, so import turnover in 2020 decreases (about 6.5% to 7%) compared to 2019. Most production and service industries decreased, ofwhich some industries have stagnated or blocked such as commerce, services, tourism, catering, accommodation and entertainment. Total import and export turnover in the first 10 months of 2020 topped USD 93,498 million, down 3.56% year-on-year.

According to HCM City Customs Department, the reduction in State budget revenue was due to tariff cut roadmaps under FTAs to which Vietnam is acceded.
