A New Growth Cycle for the Private Sector in the New Era

As Vietnam enters a new growth cycle, the private sector continues to play a pivotal role in driving investment, innovation, and sustainable development.

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), which comprise over 90% of the country's businesses, are gradually resuming their business and investment activities.
