Noi posts 3.3% boost in import turnover

Ha Noi’s import turnover in the first two months of the year reached over US$3.3 billion, an increase of 3.3 per cent against the same period last year.

In February, the capital city imported more than $1.6 billion worth of goods, down 2.9 per cent month-on-month and 8.7 per cent year-on-year.

Most import commodities saw decreases during the month, except for fertiliser and plastics, due to decreased production during Tet. The city’s imports are forecast to rise again in the coming months.
