Thailand’s exports rose 13.1 percent from a year earlier to 20.1 billion USD in October 2017, recording the eighth straight month of increase, according to the Ministry of Commerce.

More than 10.47 million foreign tourists visited Vietnam in the first 10 months of 2017, up 28.1 percent year-on-year.

The index of industrial production (IIP) surged in October and the first 10 months of 2017 against the same period last year.

International tourist arrivals to Vietnam exceeded 1 million again in October, an increase of 5 percent over September and 24.7 percent from the same period last year, according to the General Statistics Office.

The Consumer Index (CPI) in October gained 0.41 percent over September and 2.98 percent year-on-year, largely driven by impacts of storms and historic floods in northern and central Vietnam earlier this month.

The Vietnam Red Cross Society (VRC) on October 12 provided urgent relief for people severely affected by floods in the northern and central regions.

Rains up to 250mm are forecast along the coastal central provinces from Thanh Hoa to Quang Ngai on October 9 evening.
