Overall, Vietnam’s exports to CPTPP country members accounted for 15.4% of total exports. Among Vietnam’s 27 export markets worth more than US$1-billion, six are from the pact.
Additionally, high growth in exports of the country’s agriculture – fishery – forestry to CPTPP members in the seven-month period has helped offset decline in Vietnam’s exporting those products to the Chinese market, while Vietnam’s imports from CPTPP markets declined 2.3% or US$503 million.
