Optimism in the second half of the year

According to the forecast of HCM City Customs Department, in the last six months of 2022, the state revenue will still be prosperous and stable because the Government, the Ministry of Finance, and People's Committee of HCM City have action and economic recovery plans.

The positive signal is that raw materials and production supplies still grow steadily, contributing to the creation of finished products for export and stabilizing the domestic market.

The turnover of high-tax products such as alcohol, beer, cosmetics, consumer goods, iron and steel, 9-seat cars, and aviation fuel is likely to recover because cause great demand of the domestic market and the reopening of the international tourism industry. The consumer market has also prospered, so the revenue collection will also increase.

Based on the actual situation of HCM City with the very positive import and export turnover of the first six months of 2022, it is forecasted that the last six months of 2022 still increase by 3% to 5%.
