Data from the General Statistics Office ( Ministry of Finance ) shows that export turnover in the first 6 months of 2025 is estimated at 219.8 billion USD, a sharp increase of 14.4% over the same period last year. The positive point is that the trade surplus continues to be maintained at a high level, reaching 7.63 billion USD, contributing to stabilizing the balance of payments, maintaining exchange rates and supporting effective inflation control.
The growth momentum spread across all industries, with 28 items reaching a turnover of over 1 billion USD, accounting for 91.7% of total export turnover. Many key product groups impressive recorded growth, especially processed and assembled items such as: electronics, computers and components increased by 40%; textiles and garments increased by 12.3%; machinery, equipment, tools and other spare parts increased by 15.4%.
According to the General Statistics Office, this result comes from the resonance of many factors. In particular, the contribution of the foreign direct investment (FDI) sector still plays a key role, when large corporations continuously increase production activities, strongly promoting export turnover.
In addition, Vietnam continues to effectively take advantage of new-generation Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) such as EVFTA, CPTPP, RCEP... to expand its market. It is impossible not to mention the efforts of the Government , ministries and businesses in promoting technical negotiations, boosting logistics, e-customs and reforming administrative procedures, creating an increasingly favorable export environment.
However, the global trade landscape still has many potential risks. The new tariff agreement with the US, although a positive signal, still poses significant challenges. Therefore, to maintain growth momentum, the General Statistics Office believes that import and export activities need to be strategically restructured in a proactive, sustainable and adaptive manner.
The General Statistics Office has proposed a number of key solutions. Firstly, improving internal capacity and making the supply chain transparent. This requires strict control of origin, while promoting selective import of advanced machinery and technology to improve domestic production capacity. At the same time, it is necessary to focus on developing supporting industries, encourage domestic enterprises to participate more deeply in the value chain of large FDI enterprises, and gradually increase the localization rate.
Second, proactively diversify markets and approaches. Instead of depending on traditional markets, it is necessary to effectively exploit FTAs to boost exports to new and potential markets such as India, the Middle East, South Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa. At the same time, encouraging businesses to disperse their supply chains and expand sales channels through cross-border e-commerce is an inevitable trend.
Third, strengthen trade defense and policy dialogue. It is necessary to promote bilateral dialogue and negotiations with major partners such as the US, EU, and China to resolve problems. More importantly, it is necessary to improve legal capacity for businesses, guide them to work with international lawyers, and build a database to warn of early risks in potential markets.
Finally, flexible macroeconomic policy management to create a favorable environment. Stable and appropriate exchange rate and interest rate management will be an important factor in supporting businesses to reduce costs and increase competitiveness for export goods.
