Vietnam Report General Director Vu Dang Vinh said a total of 186 businesses joined this year’s survey, of which 75.8 percent said they maintained their revenue growth in 2021 and 72.6 percent reported pre-tax profits up from 2020. Notably, one third of the interviewed firms said their revenue increased over 75 percent.

They attributed the results to good management, timely measures to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic, advantages in workforce, the introduction of new products and the utilisation of digital transformation in operations.

According to Vinh, the enterprises pinned their hope on the Government’s Resolution No. 02/NQ-CP on improving the business environment and national competitiveness.

FAST500, launched in 2011, is based on the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in terms of revenue and business performance. Other criteria such as total asset, after-tax profit, and companies’ prestige on the media are also taken into account to identify their scale and stature in the industries they operate in.
