According to the report, Vietnam’s economy witnessed positive signs of recovery in 2017, with 75% of businesses participating in the VNR’s survey reporting increased revenue.

VNR statistics also show that, over the past decade, the number of private enterprises has increased tenfold, accounting for nearly 50% of the total number of firms on this year’s list.

On the occasion, Vietnam Report published the Top 50 Vietnam the Best 2017 to honour 50 firms which have been listed in the VNR500 for three consecutive years, whilst recording the largest revenues, and effectively performing their corporate social responsibility.
