In addition, export turnover of the domestic sector, the driving force for the domestic economy grew dramatically, even equal to that of the FDI sector with 16.1%.

Accordingly, in January-April, overseas shipment of the domestic sector valued at US$ 17.3 billion, representing a year-on-year surge of 13.7%. The rate was much higher than the 3.4% rate recorded in the same period last year.
