The import-export market is flourishing, but many businesses still face barriers in capital and costs.
Import and export are flourishing but businesses have not been able to make a breakthrough. According to data released by the Ministry of Industry and Trade, in the first quarter of 2024, Vietnam's total import and export turnover is estimated to reach 178.04 billion USD, up 15.5% over the same period in 2023, of which exports increased by 17% and imports increased by 13.9%. This shows the efforts and flexibility of import and export enterprises in the context of the world market's consumer demand recovering but not strongly. In fact, import and export enterprises still have many concerns, especially barriers in costs and capital that can affect production and business activities. Mr. Huy Hoang (45 years old - Hai Duong ), owner of a textile import-export enterprise, said: “In the first months of the year, the import-export activities of the enterprise have been more bustling but there are still many difficulties. Export orders to demanding markets such as Japan, Korea, the US... require high capital investment, warehouse rental costs, and transportation. Not to mention, the difficult time of the pandemic in 2020-2022 and the global economic downturn in 2023 are still weaknesses, with many potential risks. Enterprises that want to break through must have a solid source of capital and maintain it for the long term. This is also a limitation that makes my enterprise only accept small, individual orders to maintain production and retain workers".LPBank launched the program "Preferential interest rates - Opening trade routes", providing preferential loan interest rate solutions for import-export business customers.
