Vietnam grew at a rate of 6.41 per cent between January to July period in 2018 only to falter in August when this growth rate came down to 5.85 per cent. In volume-terms too, the growth rate fell to 2.98 per cent in August as compared to 3.28 per cent growth till July this year. The drop in growth can be attributed to the sudden rise in unit prices that slowed down the Vietnamese apparel shipment to its biggest export market USA.
However, the export from Vietnam is set to rise as it is known for high-end garment production and, ahead of festive season in USA, buyers are certainly going to increase their order volumes. This key factory, however, will remain the prices.
