Việt Nam’s exporters faced a significant increase in the number of trade defence investigation cases this year, on the back of rising protectionism worldwide, according to the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
Data from the authority showed that the number of trade remedy cases against Vietnamese export products has increased rapidly in recent years. As of the end of June, Vietnam had faced 231 trade defence lawsuits, including 128 anti-dumping investigations.
Viet Nam is facing an increasing risk of trade defence lawsuits as exports expand after the country''s active international integration and participation in free trade agreements (FTAs).
