Vietnam and the UK are strengthening cooperation to advance the development of a modern derivatives commodity market, seen as a key component in Vietnam’s roadmap to build an International Financial Centre.

Domestic commodity markets began to regain momentum nationwide on February 19 - the third day of the Lunar New Year, though overall purchasing power remained markedly lower than the pre-Tet peak, according to the Agency for Domestic Market Surveillance and Development under the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

VOV.VN - Retail chains are actively distributing goods to the domestic market to meet an anticipated 10-20% increase in demand as the Lunar New Year is drawing near.

VOV.VN - Shopping activities are in full swing at commercial centres and supermarkets nationwide, with a diverse, rich, and abundant range of items on offer for the Lunar New Year, known locally as Tet.
