HÀ NỘI — Total import-export turnover between Việt Nam and APEC member economies reached US$265.3 billion in the first 10 months of this year, a year-on-year increase of 17.4 per cent and almost equal to last year’s turnover.
These statistics were revealed by the General Department of Việt Nam Customs.
Exports reached $120.48 billion and imports reached $144.83 billion, up 23.9 per cent and 22 per cent, respectively, over the same period last year. These figures resulted in a deficit of more than $24.3 billion in trade balance between Việt Nam and APEC member economies, equivalent to 20.2 per cent of Việt Nam’s export turnover to this group.
From 2010 until now, average trade deficit is some $23.7 billion per year.
