Vietnam-Italy bilateral trade increased sharply this year despite difficulties 

 Friday, December 27,2024

AsemconnectVietnam - Bilateral trade between Italy and Vietnam has benefited from the positive impact of the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA). This trade agreement has been providing many opportunities to increase the presence of Vietnamese products in the Italian market.

From 2019 to 2023, two-way trade between Vietnam and Italy remained steady, ranging from nearly 4.5 billion USD to 6.5 billion USD, with Vietnam consistently achieving a trade surplus with Italy.
