Thu Minh 09:34, 2015/05/29
According to the General Statistics Office (GSO), Vietnam`s index of industrial production (IIP) in the five months of this year increased by 9.2% compared to the same period of last year.
The IIP posted a 9.1% increase in the first quarter of this year and a 9.4% rise in April.
The GSO said the relatively high growth rate was due to a high consumption rate of 12 to 14% in the past three months, compared with the same period last year. Among these, vehicles saw the highest growth of 42%, electronics 31%, metal production 24% and leather 15%.
