Vietnam’s import–export activities are rapidly approaching the USD 900 billion milestone, driven by key industries and tariff advantages from Free Trade Agreements (FTAs).
📊 As of November 15, 2025, total trade turnover reached USD 801 billion, the highest level ever recorded.
In the first half of November alone, trade value hit USD 38.35 billion (exports: USD 19.25 billion, imports: USD 19.1 billion).
Các trade surplus for the first 10 months reached USD 19.54 billion, providing room for macroeconomic policy management.
⚡ Growth engines:
Processing and manufacturing industries — including computers, electronics, machinery, phones, textiles, and footwear — are benefiting significantly from FTAs.
FTAs help reduce tariff costs, diversify export markets, attract high-quality FDI, and strengthen domestic supply chains.
🏙️ Ho Chi Minh City and its departments are enhancing export support: faster customs clearance, better utilization of FTAs, and stronger supply-chain connectivity.
💡 Experts highlight that:
The strong performance of core export sectors, combined with the positive effects of FTAs, creates major opportunities for Vietnam to reach the USD 900 billion mark.
Key strategies include expanding FTA markets, promoting green transformation, increasing deep-processing capacity, and building a modern logistics network.
FTAs serve as a powerful “external engine,” enabling Vietnam’s trade to maintain growth momentum and strengthen its position in global value chains.
