Nike manufacturers in Vietnam resume operations

The fourth wave of Covid, which began at the end of April, forced factories, especially in the south, to restrict production and impose stringent curbs to contain its spread.

Vietnam’s purchasing managers’ index (PMI) surpassed the 50-point threshold in October after four months of decline, indicating expansion in manufacturing.
