As a result, the city always remains innovative and pioneering in the economic field.

During the outbreak of Covid-19, the city has suffered many strong impacts, which directly affected the socio-economic development. Many economic sectors have low growth or even decrease compared to the same period of 2019.

However, with the efforts of the whole political system and all classes of people, the socio-economic situation of Ho Chi Minh City still has many bright spots, which creates a premise for the better recovery and growth in the coming time./.
