The index of industrial production (IIP) in Vietnam rose by 5.1 per cent in February compared to the January figure, according to the General Statistics Office, which attributed the rise to more working days than January and more workers returning to factories after the Lunar New Year holiday. The IIP rise was 3.6 per cent year on year in the month.

Manufacturing slid by 6.9 per cent YoY during the two-month period.
