27th December 2022 post by MOIT Vietnam

According to the most recent data that can be found on the website of the Lao Trade Portal, the nation of Laos racked up a trade deficit during the month of November 2022 that was equivalent to $50 million in United States Dollars. This deficit was caused by the country's inability to sell more goods than it bought. This information may be obtained via several means. This deficit was caused by the inability of the government to sell more items than it imported into the nation via imports. The Lao Trade Deficit Report is where all of the information that was just discussed may be found.

It has been mentioned in a statement that was published to the website of the Lao Trade Portal on Tuesday that the completion of the Vietnam-Laos railway has apparently made it much easier to trade commodities back and forth between the two nations, both in terms of exporting and importing goods. Because of this, it is possible to save both time and money, which, in turn, makes the shipping solutions that are made accessible to companies more acceptable to the businesses themselves.
The value of all goods and services that were traded during the month of November came to a total of US$1.083 billion, of which exports accounted for US$519 million and imports accounted for US$564 million. The total value of all goods and services that were traded during the month of November was US$1.083 billion. The gap between these two numbers is referred to as the trade deficit, and it is one of the most important economic indicators. The difference between these two figures may be stated in terms of millions of dollars in the currency used in the United States. The gap between these two statistics is laid out in a table that can be located below and can be seen there. You can find it and see it there.

Gold in all of its many forms, such as bars and mixed gold, wood pulp and paper scraps, paper and paper goods, potassium salt, gold ore, textiles, sugar, footwear, and bananas made up the majority of Laos' exports.

The most important export market for Laos has been and will continue to be Vietnam, followed by China and finally Thailand in that order.
