Moreover, imports totalled $276 billion, an increase of 13 per cent YoY, and the export turnover touched $282 billion, a rise of 17.3 per cent YoY, according to various media reports.

During the first nine months of the current year, China turned out to be Vietnam’s biggest exporter ($91.6 billion) and the US was its top importer ($86.3 billion), the GSO said. Vietnam also witnessed a trade surplus of $24.3 billion with the European Union during the period.
