To date, Vietnam has participated in 17 free trade agreements (FTAs), of which 15 are in effect and 2 are under negotiation. In particular, new-generation FTAs that have come into effect in recent years such as CPTPP, EVFTA, UKVFTA, RCEP... are expected to be a "lever" for Vietnam's goods export activities in 2023 and the following years.
According to statistics, in the first quarter of 2023, the export turnover of goods of Nghe An province reached 521.6 million USD, down 5.5% over the same period last year. Meanwhile, exports nationwide recorded a decrease of 13% over the same period in the context of declining global demand and commodity prices tending to go down due to war, high inflation in major economies, tight monetary policy, etc. It is forecasted that businesses' export activities will continue to face difficulties in the second quarter of 2023.
