The Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee set targets and approved operational orientations and solutions for this year for its industrial and trade sectors at a recent meeting.

Ho Chi Minh City sets a target of 5% industrial growth in 2021 and its four key sectors expanding by at least 6.7%, according to its Department of Industry and Trade.

The Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI) said it had advised the Government to implement a number of policies to support Vietnam’s industrial sector, especially the supporting industry.

The northern province of Vinh Phuc’s industry has been growing to become a key economic sector that contributes greatly to the local gross regional domestic production (GRDP).
