HO CHI MINH CITY (Vietnam News/Asia News Network): Vietnam saw a year-on-year increase of 17 per cent in exports in the first six months of 2022, but it will be hard for overseas shipments to meet expectations in the last half of the year, according to HSBC.

In its “Vietnam at a glance” report released on August 17, HSBC said after the impressive export growth in H1, a weaker-than-expected pace has been recorded since the start of H2.
