Vietnam Inflation Cools in November to Slowest This Year

Vietnam reported its slowest inflation this year while exports rose in November even as the coronavirus pandemic continues to hinder trade activity, according to the General Statistics Office in Hanoi.

Consumer price gains slowed for a fourth month to 1.48% year-on-year in November on declines in fuel, travel and transportation costs, data from the statistics office showed. Trade surplus was estimated to have narrowed to $600 million this month, it said.
