The Vietnamese retail sector has recovered to the pre-COVID-19 level, with 53.8% of total retailers reporting similar or better business outcomes, according to Vietnam Report JSC.

The Vietnam Post has piloted the Post Smart automatic delivery cabinet model in 40 post offices in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City from July as part of efforts to minimise the risk of COVID-19 spreading.

Tax declared from e-commerce activities had been increasing, reported the General Department of Taxation.
