Vietnam: Analysis by SSI Research forecasts that the reopening of the Chinese economy, following its change in public health policy towards Covid-19, should increase cement exports in the second half of 2023. If this happens it is expected to reduce competition between producers in central and northern regions, according to the Việt Nam News newspaper. Signs of a recovery in cement exports to China were already noted in the fourth quarter of 2022. However, an increase in clinker export tariffs from the start of 2023 may presents a fresh issue for the producers. Cement and clinker exports from Vietnam fell by 29% year-on-year to 31.7Mt in 2022.
