Vietnam's trade surplus continues to increase in September 2012
It is the fourth month in succession when Vietnam enjoyed the trade surplus.

According to the Vietnam Customs, in September, the nation’s export turnover attained more than US$9.48 billion, down 8 percent compared to the previous month. The import value is estimated at US$9.31 billion, down 9.2 percent.
In the first nine months of 2012, Vietnam’s export and import turnovers achieved nearly US$83.55 billion and US $83.4 billion, up 18.6 percent and up 6.1 percent respectively.
