HANOI: The Vietnam Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) ticked up to 52.2 in November from 52.1 in October, signalling a second successive modest improvement in business conditions following a period of decline caused by the fourth wave of the Covid-19 pandemic earlier in the year, according to IHS Markit.
In a report released on Wednesday, IHS Markit said overall business conditions in the Vietnamese manufacturing sector improved for the second month running in November, but renewed worries about the Covid-19 pandemic and associated labour shortages limited growth momentum.
