Export race, Bac Ninh speeds up, about to catch up with Ho Chi Minh City

After the merger, Bac Ninh has become a super large-scale manufacturing factory. In the first 5 months of this year, the province's export turnover is about to catch up with Ho Chi Minh City.

From July 1, 34 provincial-level administrative units, including 28 provinces and 6 centrally-run cities, officially operated under the new government model. This arrangement aims to expand development space, improve management efficiency and maximize the potential of each locality.

According to statistics from the Customs Department, in the first 5 months of this year, our country's export turnover is estimated at 180.2 billion USD, an increase of 14% over the same period last year.

Of which, the new Ho Chi Minh City (merging Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong and Ba Ria - Vung Tau ) continues to lead the country with export turnover reaching about 37.8 billion USD.

Ranked second is the new Bac Ninh province (merged Bac Ninh and Bac Giang ), with an export turnover of 32.4 billion USD, only 2 billion USD lower than the new Ho Chi Minh City. Notably, the new Bac Ninh is also the leading locality in exporting goods in the Northern region.

In 2024, Bac Ninh 's export turnover will reach 70.06 billion USD, while Ho Chi Minh City's will reach 88.96 billion USD.

The top 5 provinces and cities with the highest export turnover in our country also include: the new Hai Phong city (including Hai Duong) reaching 17 billion USD, the new Dong Nai (including Binh Phuoc) reaching 13.4 billion USD and the new Phu Tho (including Vinh Phuc and Hoa Binh) reaching 13.3 billion USD.

Thus, the five new localities after the merger alone contributed about 113.9 billion USD, equivalent to more than 63% of the total export turnover of goods nationwide in the first five months of the year.
