The honoured companies are key players in the construction andreal estate sectors. They have achieved significant achievements in providing productsto customers, established impressive reputations among the public andinvestors, demonstrated strong resilience with stable financial capabilitiesand robust resistance when facing challenging market conditions.

General Director of theVietnam Report JSC Vu Dang Vinh noted that faced with the onslaught of'headwinds” in recent times, productions and business activities of Vietnameseenterprises have somewhat faltered due to the weakening of overall demand bothdomestically and globally.

Vietnam Report’s survey indicates that up to 51.7% and 46.7% of theinterviewed companies said they failed to achieve last year’s revenue andprofit targets, respectively in 2023. Both the rates of companies reaching andsurpassing the two targets were lower than in 2021 - 2022. Notably, the ratesof those with declined revenue and profits increased almost twice and 1.5-foldcompared to the same period of 2021 - 2022.
