VOV.VN - Vietnam’s Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) remained below the 50.0 no-change threshold for a second consecutive month in May but climbed to 49.8 from 45.6 in April, signaling a near-stabilisation in business conditions, according to S&P Global.

VOV.VN - The Vietnam Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) in December 2024 dipped below the 50.0 no-change mark for the first time in three months, signaling a fractional deterioration in overall business conditions at the end of the year, according to the latest report by S&P Global.

Besides reducing business conditions, a number of ministries and sectors have continued to issue and enforce new business conditions with stricter requirements that cause difficulties for enterprises, said Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment Tran Duy Dong.

Over 400 business conditions were cut in the recently passed Law on Investment last year, according to Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment (MPI) Tran Duy Dong.

Reductions in business conditions and related administrative procedures have helped save about 18 million workdays, or VND6.3 trillion (US$273.4 million), each year, Minister and Chairman of the Government Office Mai Tien Dung said.
