Survey responders include administrative offices, religious institutions, foreign enterprises' brands and representative offices, non-profit organisations and business establishments except those operating in agriculture, aquaculture and forestry sector.
The survey will collect background information about the establishments, their employment, operation, assets and liability, as well as information technology application.
Under the decision, a national steering committee for the survey is set up, led by the Minister of Planning and Investment and head of General Statistics Office. At lower levels of cities/provinces, districts and communes, there will be committees to ensure the survey smoothly takes place.
