Steel imports top US$2 billion

Viet Nam's steel industry saw imports of more than US$2 billion in the first four months of this year.

An imbalance in the steel industry's development strategy led to an increase in the import of high-value steel, while the domestic supply mostly included popular products, according to the Viet Nam Steel Association (VSA).

Steel export earnings in the past four months were estimated at $500 million.
