HÀ NỘI The Vietnam Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) was 51.3 in January, down from 51.7 in December, to signal a softer improvement in business conditions at the start of 2021.
According to the latest survey from Nikkei and IHS Markit revealed on Monday, although business conditions in the Vietnamese manufacturing sector improved at the start of 2021, growth was softer than at the end of 2020. Production, employment and purchasing activity were all broadly unchanged in January, while new orders increased at a slower rate.
