2021 – the “Luckless” year of the Economy – Society
In 2021, although being one of the few countries witnessing the prosperity of the economy while maintaining its growth momentum (at a low level: of 3.3%), Vietnam still suffers from severe consequences and impacts profoundly on the lives and activities of people, as well as the way businesses operate.
According to data from the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), Vietnam’s economic environment in 2021 has a rather bleak color: 87.2% of businesses said that they would be affected “mostly” or “completely negative.” Only 11% of companies said they were “not affected,” and nearly 2% recorded positive impacts.
Small and medium-sized enterprises are heavily affected by the pandemic shock: small-scale enterprises are most concerned with 89.3% of businesses affected, followed by large, medium, and micro enterprises with 88%, 87.3%, and 87.2%, respectively.
However, COVID-19 is like a “push,” forcing businesses to change the way they operate, moving towards the trend of a digital working environment, and promoting the application of enterprise digital transformation.
