SUMMARY 
 
January is the first month of the year, so the macro indicators cannot clearly show the trend of the new year. However, because it is the month adjacent to the Lunar New Year, in January, it is customary for businesses to reduce production activities compared to the previous month, and mainly focus more strongly on consumption. Accordingly, the total retail sales of goods also increased significantly.
 
However, with the epidemic situation returning from the last days of January 2021 and still complicated to date, it is expected to continue to strongly affect the business results of enterprises, especially in some industries: transportation, tourism, and retail in the next 2-3 months.
