shortages of skilled labour and production materials as well as boost
exports in the remaining months of the year.
Minister of Industry and Trade Vu Huy Hoang made the request at an
online meeting on the country’s production in Hanoi on September 6.
According to the ministry’s report, the country’s export turnover in
the first eight months of the year reached 44.5 billion USD, up 20
percent over the same period of last year while the import value was
still high, with trade deficit standing at 8.16 billion USD, a
year-on-year increase of 3 billion USD - and expected to increase to
13.6 billion USD by the end of the year.
At the
meeting, the representatives pointed out that dependence on import
materials affects the price of export products, and products can also
become subject to trade barriers from other countries.
The ministry also urged businesses to use domestic equipment, step up
the construction of electrical works, stabilise prices of domestic
products and carry out promotion programmes in domestic markets./.
