Lam cited the organisation’s recent report as saying that the total revenue of
regional businesses decreased by 77.8 percent, while the volume of purchased
input materials dropped by 61.6 percent.
Regarding exports, only 4.6 percent of enterprises, mostly those operating in
the production of medical equipment and supplies, saw increases in their orders,
while 59.1 percent reported decreases.
Up to 47 percent of labourers have their jobs cut, and the figure is forecast to
increase in the coming time, especially in the garment and footwear sectors, as
there are no orders left.
Lam said that in the first half of 2020, the Mekong Delta’s GRDP rose by 2.08
percent – the lowest level in the past decade.
He added that 4,567 new enterprises were set up in this period, down 2.9 percent
year-on-year./.
