Surveys at local stores and retail outlets showed that the number of customers and sales have so far increased quite high compared to last year.

In the past two months, the number of shoppers has grown significantly, she said, adding that currently, stable prices of gasoline and basic input materials offer a favorable condition for her store to promote sales.

In order to attract consumers and stimulate shopping demand, local supermarkets have regularly organised promotion campaigns and responded to demand stimulation programmes targeting made-in-Vietnam goods. According to their representatives, the number of people visiting and shopping at their facilities grew by 20-30% compared to the same period last year.

According to the Department of Industry and Trade, Yen Bai’s total revenue from retail sales of goods and from services exceeded 15.47 trillion VND (652.45 million USD) in the first eight months, meeting 65.85% of the yearly plan, and up 10.74% year-on-year.
