Vietnam reported an acceleration in exports this month after officials eased tough anti-coronavirus restrictions that led to the closing of many factories, particularly in the southern industrial belt, that produce shoes and clothes for global brands such as Nike Inc. and Abercrombie & Fitch Co.

November exports jumped 18.5% from last year, the most since May, according to data from the Hanoi-based General Statistics Office. Imports rose 20.8%.
