In the first half of the year, the cumulative export of textiles and garments achieved growth, which was better than the overall national trade in goods and exceeded expectations. The main reason is that the export of anti-epidemic materials has driven the rapid growth of textile exports. Affected by the reduction in external demand, apparel exports continued to decline, but the decline in June was significantly narrower than in April and May, showing signs of recovery.
