Import-export turnover will be positive in the second half of the year
Speaking from the side of the General Department of Customs, Mr. Nguyen Van Can, Director of the General Department of Customs, said that the import-export turnover in February and two months of 2023 is different from 2022 and previous years. In February 2023, state budget revenue through import and export increased more than in 2022 because in 2022, the Lunar New Year is in February and the revenue in January 2022 is too high.
Mr. Nguyen Van Can said the absolute revenue through import and export of the first two months of the year decreased, but the capture of enterprises, especially FDI enterprises and domestic enterprises shows that multinational companies are expanding investment in production in Vietnam.
Regarding import-export turnover from now to June 2023, General Director Nguyen Van Can said that it may not increase much over the same period due to inflation in some major markets, but it will be positive in the last months of the year when enterprises expand production and business.
"Monitoring the activities of FDI enterprises such as Korean, Japanese and European enterprises shows that the situation is not very worrying, in terms of import-export revenue, import-export turnover will increase from the third quarter onwards," commented Mr. Nguyen. Van Can.
