(CPV) – A latest survey on the Trade Confidence Index in 2010 published by HSBC reported that Vietnam posted 122 points (out of 200), decreasing by 10 points from the previous survey in March and April.
The reason for the decrease is because local export and import businesses feared a possible reduction in foreign exchange trading volume in the next six months and are more cautious about the targeted potential market.
The survey showed that Asia is still the focused market of Vietnamese businesses with 58% of them trading with China, 38% with the rest of Asia, and 34% with Southeast Asia.
46% of Vietnamese export and import businesses believed that trade volume would rise slightly in the next six months, the survey indicated.
According to the survey, the global Trade Confidence Index now stands stable at 116 points. Vietnam is still in the top five, losing the third position and stands behind India, UAE, Mexico and Indonesia.
This is the second survey of HSBC in 2010 and the fourth survey since 2009. It was conducted in 17 markets, including the key markets in Asia Pacific, the Middle East, Latin America, the US, Canada, and Europe, with the participation of 5,124 small and medium enterprises operating in export and import areas. 300 Vietnamese businesses, mainly from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City joined in the survey.

Garment exports sure to garner 11 billion USD



The Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association (Vitas) has predicted that the country’s garment export value would reach 11 billion USD in 2010, exceeding the planned target by 500 million USD.
An export value of 9.16 billion USD in the first ten months of this year, together with many signed orders valid until the first quarter of 2011, led to the positive prediction.
At a meeting hosted by the Ministry of Industry and Trade on Oct. 26, Vitas vice president Nguyen Son said in the 10-month period, export value to such major markets as Japan increased 14.7 percent and Russia , over 5 percent.
Notably, exports to the EU market recovered, up 7 percent after several months of slowdown due to the debt crisis in Greece .
The US remained Vietnam ’s biggest market. In October, garment exports to the US accounted for 55 percent of the sector’s export value.
In the meantime, Italian garment enterprises are expected to invest in garment and dyeing in Vietnam , offering chances for Vietnamese businesses to expand export markets in the future, Son said.
Targeting a garment export value of over 19 billion USD by 2015 and 25-27 billion USD by 2020, Vitas is implementing many programmes, including producing 1 billion metres of cloth for export, expanding areas for cotton plantations and developing human resources to meet the sector’s demand./.
