VOV.VN - The Vietnam Steel Association (VSA) hosted a workshop on September 13 in Hanoi to discuss the green growth strategy for the Vietnamese steel industry.

The steel market is likely to recover in the third and fourth quarters of this year thanks to augmented efforts to disburse public investment and credit packages for social housing projects, along with positive signs of the Vietnamese economy, said Vice Chairman of the Vietnam Steel Association (VSA) Doan Danh Tuan.

The price of construction steel is on the rise despite the fact that the demand for this type of construction material remains weak, insiders have said.

VOV.VN - By the end of the first quarter, the steel industry had imported up to three million tonnes, worth US$3.1 billion, with a trade deficit of US$800 million, while exports brought in US$2.3 billion, according to the Vietnam Steel Association (VSA).

Steel enterprises have boosted exports while facing difficulties in domestic consumption due to the COVID-19 outbreak, according to the Vietnam Steel Association (VSA).
