Total retail and consumer services reaches over $40.5 billion

In Viet Nam, total retail sales of goods and consumer service revenue in the first two months of this year exceeded 40.55 billion USD, marking an 8.1% increase compared to the same period last year. The General Statistics Office attributes this to a surge in consumer demands during the Lunar New Year, which took place in February this year.

The tourism sector saw the most significant growth, with revenue increasing by 36%. Notably, Ha NamNam and Da Nangoutperformed Ho Chi MinhCity and Hanoi, almost doubling their tourism sector revenue from last year.
