SUMMARY
 
In the first month after "opening up the economy" again, many economic indicators had positive changes compared to the previous month. Specifically, in the first half of the month, the recovery was still slow but started to accelerate more in the second half of the month.
 
The IIP index of the whole country in October increased by 6.9% compared to the previous month, especially in Ho Chi Minh City, many industries (textiles, garments, footwear, wood & furniture, ...) rebounded strongly. However, capacity has not been able to fully recover as before the epidemic, so the IIP index of some industries is still lower than in October 2020.
 
One of the most positive in the general economic picture is that the stock market continues to grow strongly in both index and liquidity. Especially, along with the expectation of the economic stimulus package, the VN-Index has continuously set new peaks since the last week of October until now.
