Vietnam's manufacturing sector grows for three consecutive months


HANOI, Jan. 4 (Xinhua): The Vietnamese manufacturing sector continued to grow at a solid pace at the end of 2021, and saw job creation resume following a sustained period of falling employment, a report compiled by the London-based global information provider IHS Markit revealed on Tuesday.

The Vietnam Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) ticked up to 52.5 in December from 52.2 in November, signalling a third successive monthly improvement in business conditions. Moreover, the solid strengthening in the health of the sector was the most marked since May 2021, said the report.
