In the first half of February, exports reached more than 20.3 billion USD, up nearly 13% compared with the first half of January. Growth momentum continued to be driven by the processing and manufacturing sector, particularly high-tech products. Mobile phones and components recorded the strongest increase, surging nearly 33%.

The textile and garment sector also showed a rebound, reaching 1.8 billion USD, up more than 32%, signaling improved orders from major markets. Notably, the foreign direct investment (FDI) sector generated nearly 16 billion USD in exports, accounting for almost 78% of total export turnover and maintaining its leading role.

By mid-February, imports totaled 66 billion USD, up 40%. Rising demand for fuel and production materials remained the main growth driver.
