January’s PMI surged to 50.3 from December’s 48.9, marking the manufacturing sector’s first upturn in five months.
This resurgence had been propelled by heightened demand, leading to an uptick in both output and new orders. Gabor Fluit, EuroCham’s Chairman, affirmed Vietnam’s economic recovery’s positive trajectory, emphasising the necessity of innovation, robust trade ties, and enhancing export value through processing.
The CEO of Economica Vietnam, Le Duy Binh, echoed optimism, citing global economic revival, particularly in vital export markets like the US, Japan, China, Australia, and the ASEAN nations.
