The last "billion dollar" group is phones and components that are still in leading position with a turnover of $US 2.11 billion, increasing by $US 783 million over the first 15 days of 2017.

Besides that, other key export items of Vietnam such as shoes, sandals; wooden products; seafood; machinery, equipment, etc… all have a positive growth rate compared to the same period in 2017.

Thus, the export results in the first 15 days of 2018 are flourishing compared to last year. In particular, the growth rate in recent days is an overwhelming signal at nearly 26.6%, while the export growth of 2017 is only 21.2%.

The export growth rate of the first days of the year is also much higher than the target approved by the National Assembly for 2018 (the target approved by the National Assembly is an export growth of 7% to 8%).
