Consumer price index in Ho Chi Minh City rose by 0.12 percent monthly and 2.5 percent annually in April, according to the municipal Statistical Office on April 29.
Ho Chi Minh City is now treating hazardous medical and industrial waste by high-tech methods at two plants, but by 2020 the city will need additional plant capacity as well as more private investment when public funding runs out.
Ho Chi Minh City’s industrial production index tended to stall, up only 6.07 percent in the four months this year compared to 7.09 percent one year earlier.
Ho Chi Minh City will continue to focus on developing supporting industry, and targets meeting 45 percent of national demand for manufactured inputs by 2020 and 65 percent by 2025.
