Vietnam apparel exports seen rising 7.4% this year to US$$43.5 bln, says official

HANOI, Feb 18 (Reuters): Vietnam's apparel exports are expected to jump 7.4% this year to US$43.5 billion as factories keep up production despite surging coronavirus infections, the country's textile and garment association told Reuters.

Among the world's largest manufacturers for brands like Nike, Zara, and H&M, Vietnam has recently lifted most of its COVID-19 curbs, which last year disrupted production and hobbled global supply chains.
