The Resolution of the 12th National Congress, Resolution of the 10th Central Committee, and Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress all emphasized that the private economy is "an important driving force of the economy".

To date, according to reports, the private economy contributes 45% of GDP, 40% of total social investment capital, creates 85% of jobs for the total workforce, accounts for 35% of import turnover and 25% of export turnover. Vietnam has had private corporations reaching out to the region and the world.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses have made positive and effective contributions to help the whole nation overcome the COVID-19 pandemic, control the epidemic, and quickly bring our country back to normal.

In the context of the pandemic, fierce strategic competition, conflicts taking place in many places, broken supply chains, production chains affecting the world economy and Vietnam's economy, businesses have affirmed their role in restoring and developing the economy - society. Currently, Vietnam's GDP scale ranks 34th in the world, our country has never had the foundation, potential, position and international prestige as today.

This is the result of great efforts of the entire people under the leadership of the Party and management of the State, including important contributions from businesses, including private enterprises.
