Vietnam runs trade surplus with Canada in first 2 months

VOV.VN - Vietnam exporters ran a trade surplus with Canada for the first two months of the year, owing to strong sales in electronics, footwear, clothing and textiles, according to the Office of the Trade Counsellor to Canada.

Trade Counselor Hoang Anh Dung said exports by foreign and domestic sector businesses operating in Vietnam to Canada registered US$586.6 million while imports tallied in at US$131.1 million, resulting in a trade surplus of US$455.5 million.

The trade surplus was much smaller than that for the same 2-month period last year due to a sharp increase in coal imports from Canada, which more than doubled to US$38 million, accounting for almost 30% of the total imports of Vietnam.
