The first month of the year has gone by with many encouraging signals. The socio-economic situation continues to see positive transformations, with the industrial production index rising by 20.9% year on year, and the total retail sales and consumption service revenue growing by 9.5%. 

Viet Nam welcomed over 1.4 million international arrivals in the past month, while the total number of newly established businesses and enterprises that resumed operations reached approximately 15,400 in January.
