Twenty-three largest Vietnamese enterprises earn nearly 144 billion USD

Although the private sector has increasingly asserted its role in the economy, the 2025 revenue picture showed that State-owned enterprises in the energy and fuel sectors still hold a dominant position.

Hanoi (VNS/VNA) – Total revenue of 23 largest Vietnamese enterprises reached approximately 3.8 quadrillion VND (144.5 billion USD) last year, according to financial statements from the companies.

Although the private sector has increasingly asserted its role in the economy, the 2025 revenue picture showed that State-owned enterprises in the energy and fuel still hold a dominant position.

Four State-owned enterprises – Vietnam National Energy Corporation (Petrovietnam), Vietnam Electricity Corporation (EVN), Vietnam National Petroleum Group (Petrolimex) and Vietnam National Coal and Minerals Group (Vinacomin) – generated more than 1.74 quadrillion VND in revenue, equivalent to about 46% of the total.

PVN topped the ranking with 651 trillion VND in revenue. EVN followed closely with 646 trillion VND.

If considering the private sector separately, Vingroup continued to hold the leading position with 332 trillion VND in revenue. The figure is larger than the combined revenue of many banks on the list and many times greater than the revenue of some leading technology corporations.

Following Vingroup is Viettel with 220 trillion VND in revenue. The gap of over 100 trillion VND between Vingroup and Viettel shows that currently, not many businesses outside the energy sector are capable of reaching a revenue threshold of over 300 trillion VND.

Nearly one-third of the representatives on the list (seven out of 23 businesses) are banks, Agribank, BIDV, Vietinbank, VPBank, Vietcombank, MB and Techcombank.

The appearance of private businesses in the retail and manufacturing sectors in the list is notable.

Specifically, retailer Mobile World Group (MWG) and steel producer Hòa Phát both achieved a revenue of 156 trillion VND. This revenue level is equivalent to many large State-owned banks and far exceeds most listed companies on the stock market.

For MWG, the scale of revenue reflects the strength of its nationwide retail network. Meanwhile, Hòa Phát continues to maintain its position as Vietnam's largest private industrial manufacturing enterprise with its ecosystem encompassing steel, agriculture and real estate./.

According to Dr Vu Thanh Tu Anh, head of the research team, the report presents a comprehensive assessment of the Mekong Delta’s economic landscape, emphasising that future breakthroughs will not come from simply producing more rice, aquatic products, or fruit. Instead, the region must transition toward an innovation-driven agricultural economy built on climate adaptation and nature-based development principles.

Vietnam is among the world's leading producers and exporters of agricultural products, including rice, coffee and a wide range of fruits. However, key export markets such as the US, the European Union (EU) and Japan are tightening sustainability requirements for agricultural products, making the transition to low-emission farming increasingly important.

Energy storage unlocks renewable power potential, cuts emissions

Energy transition is not simply about replacing fossil fuels with wind and solar power. It also requires building a sustainable energy ecosystem in which clean power generation, energy storage, smart grids and material recycling chains develop in parallel. Such an integrated approach will improve energy efficiency, further reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help Vietnam achieve green growth and net-zero emissions targets by 2050.

The Government's inflation target remains within reach despite mounting headwinds. Several forecasts suggest inflation can stay below 4.5% this year if international oil prices continue to retreat. Extending domestic fuel tax incentives through year-end, along with stable electricity prices, healthcare fees and exchange rates, would offer additional relief.
