The Vietnamese manufacturing sector expanded at a faster pace in May as new orders returned to growth and output strengthened, S&P Global said Monday.
The latest S&P Global Vietnam Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index stood at 52.8, compared with 50.5 in April.
S&P Global said part of the increase in new orders reflected customers building safety stock amid concerns about the impact of the Middle East conflict.
