The manufacturing sector in Vietnam continued to expand in January, albeit at a slightly slower rate, the latest survey from the IHS Markit revealed on Monday with a manufacturing PMI score of 50.6.
That's down from 50.8 in December, although it remains above the boom-or-bust line of 50 that separates expansion from contraction.
Individually, new business continued to increase for the 50th consecutive month, while there was a modest reduction in output.
In addition, the rate of job creation eased to a fractional pace.
