The business registration landscape in the first four months of 2025 reflects strong momentum, with nearly 90,000 newly established and re-operating businesses—a 9.9% increase compared to the same period last year.

According to the National Statistics Office (Ministry of Finance), in April alone, Vietnam recorded over 15,200 newly established enterprises, representing a 2.5% decrease from March, but a 7.4% increase compared to April, 2024.

The registered capital in April reached over VND133.6 trillion ($5.15 billion), reflecting a 5.8% increase from the previous month, though a 23.5% decline compared to the same period last year.

In total, during the first four months of 2025, Vietnam saw 51,600 new business registrations, a slight 0.9% decrease from the same period in 2024.

However, a major highlight was the strong resurgence of businesses. Over 38,300 enterprises resumed operations in the four-month period, showing a 29% increase compared to last year. This brings the total number of newly established and re-operating businesses to over 89,900, averaging nearly 22,500 businesses entering or re-entering the market each month.

Another positive indicator is the total registered capital added to the economy, with nearly VND1.8 quadrillion (nearly $69.3 billion) in the first four months of the year, representing a 91.3% increase compared to 2024. This surge is primarily driven by strongly increased volume of registered capital from operating businesses, with more than VND1.3 quadrillion (over $50.36 billion) recorded, marking a 217.1% rise from the same period last year.
