On average, 24,800 new businesses are established or reactivated each month. The total registered capital injected into the economy in 2025 reached nearly 6.4 quadrillion VND, a 77.8% increase compared to 2024. Businesses reported improved performance in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to earlier quarters.

“With over 1 million active businesses nationwide, the corporate sector’s role in the economy is increasingly vital. This growth not only reflects an increase in numbers but also indicates a certain level of recovery in the production and business environment. It serves as a key indicator of business confidence and expectations, despite ongoing domestic and global economic fluctuations,” stated the Statistics Bureau.

Thang Long Industrial Park attracts numerous electronics, automotive, and mechanical enterprises.

For the first quarter of 2026, nearly 80% of manufacturing and processing businesses anticipate better growth. New orders and export orders continue their positive trend, with projections of increased new orders in Q1/2026 compared to Q4/2025. To support business development, the Statistics Bureau recommends policies to reduce costs, including tax exemptions, reductions, and deferrals for value-added tax, corporate income tax, special consumption tax, environmental protection tax, and land rental fees.

“Authorities should implement policies to strengthen internal capabilities and enhance business competitiveness. This includes facilitating access to resources for investment in research and development, land, production facilities, capital, markets, technology, digital transformation, and workforce quality improvement,” the Statistics Bureau proposed.

In a recent report to the Government, the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry suggested several support measures for businesses, such as continued institutional reforms for transparency and stability. The Government should direct ministries to issue detailed legal guidance at least 60-75 days before the effective date, instead of the current 45 days.
