HCM CITY — Helping businesses revive production and trading is one of the important tasks that HCM City’s industry and trade authorities will focus on in 2021.
According to the city Department of Industry and Trade, the city’s index of industrial production (IIP) grew by 6 per cent in the first two months of the year, despite a fall of 24.6 per cent in February as business establishments closed for the Lunar New Year.
The recovery in industrial production, retail sales and import-export activities has been due to the Government’s effective control of the Covid-19 pandemic and programmes to revive the economy, said Bùi Tá Hoàng Vũ, the department’s director.
