The statistics sector is scheduled to begin a survey of businesses nationwide from April 1 with a view to collecting basic information to serve management and policy making and socio-economic development forecast.

The survey will cover enterprises, cooperatives and cooperative unions.

The information to be collected will serve the management and formation of policies and plans on socio-economic and enterprise development across the country, as well as calculate important criteria such as the GDP, and the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP).

It will also be used to build a national statistical criteria system, compile the White Book on Vietnamese Businesses 2025, and the White Book on Vietnamese Cooperatives 2025, update the enterprise database, and serve other purposes.
