In May 2025 alone, the country had more than 15.1 thousand newly established enterprises with a registered capital of more than 156.7 thousand billion VND and a registered number of employees of 98.1 thousand. Compared to the previous month (April 2025), the number of enterprises decreased slightly by 0.6% and the number of employees decreased by 23.1%, however, the registered capital increased significantly by 17.3%.
Compared to the same period in 2024, the indicators in May 2025 all showed outstanding growth: an increase of 6.1% in the number of enterprises, an increase of 16.6% in registered capital and an increase of 29.3% in the number of employees.
Notably, the average registered capital per enterprise in the month reached 10.4 billion VND, up 18% over the previous month and up 9.9% over the same period last year.
Besides, in May 2025, more than 8 thousand enterprises returned to operation, although down 11.1% compared to April 2025, it increased sharply by 18.8% compared to the same period in 2024.
In the first 5 months of 2025, the whole country had nearly 66.8 thousand newly registered enterprises, an increase of 0.6% over the same period last year, with a total registered capital of 647.1 trillion VND and a total number of employees of 453.9 thousand people (an increase of 6.2% in terms of labor).
A particular bright spot is that the total registered capital added to the economy in the first 5 months of this year reached nearly VND 2,279.5 trillion, a sharp increase of 83.8% over the same period in 2024. This shows the expansion of scale and strong investment of operating enterprises.
The number of businesses returning to operation in the first 5 months was also very positive, reaching more than 45 thousand businesses, an increase of 32.2% over the same period.
By economic sector, the service sector continued to be the main driving force with nearly 50.9 thousand newly established enterprises, up 2.0%. Meanwhile, the industrial and construction sector recorded more than 15.2 thousand enterprises (down 3.9%) and the agricultural, forestry and fishery sector had 627 enterprises (down 1.7%).
In the first 5 months of the year, nearly 74,600 enterprises temporarily suspended business (up 12.8% over the same period last year), more than 27,500 enterprises were waiting for dissolution procedures (up 18.3%) and nearly 9,600 enterprises completed dissolution procedures (up 15.7%).
Thus, on average, more than 22.3 thousand businesses withdraw from the market each month. This number is almost equivalent to the number of newly established and re-established businesses, showing a dynamic but also competitive and challenging market.
Statistics on business activities nationwide in May in particular and the first 5 months of the year in general are vividly demonstrating the prospects for economic recovery and growth in Vietnam in 2025. Most figures show that businesses expect Vietnam to achieve impressive economic growth this year.
Deputy Minister of Finance Tran Quoc Phuong said that through the data, it can be affirmed that the situation of new business registration as well as businesses returning to operation in the first months of 2025 is very positive.
Deputy Minister Tran Quoc Phuong said that the boom in new business registrations and businesses returning to operations was due to reasons such as businesses' confidence in Vietnam's production and business environment as well as better economic growth prospects.
Next is the trust of enterprises in the leadership and management decisions of the Party, State, Government, and Prime Minister in removing difficulties and obstacles of currently stuck projects. According to Deputy Minister Tran Quoc Phuong, this is very important because the projects are waiting for specific solutions to remove them and continue operations. New investors and large projects are having faith in the State's policies and the efforts of the Government and Prime Minister...
In particular, a factor that plays a very important role is that recently, the Politburo issued Resolution No. 68-NQ/TW on promoting the development of the private economy. This Resolution is extremely important; it clearly demonstrates the Party's major policy in developing the private economy, valuing the role of the private economy in the economy.
However, according to economic experts, Vietnam still faces risks from global economic instability as well as increasing competitive pressure. Therefore, businesses need to have flexible strategies, taking advantage of opportunities from supply chain shifts and domestic consumption to maintain sustainable growth in 2025.
