Vietnamese SMEs Achieve Growth as Economy Recovers

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, Jan. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- 2021 has been a tumultuous year for SMEs in Vietnam; with the country going into lockdown for an extended period of time, it has impacted the growth of the economy. With restrictions being lifted gradually, the economy reopens, and SMEs are optimistic on the recovery.

Even facing tough times, the Vietnamese SMEs showed their resilience and perseverance as 32 Vietnamese SMEs have been selected as winners of the 2021 SME100 Awards. These winners are among 300 other Vietnamese companies that were in the selection of becoming the SME100 Fast Moving Companies of 2021.

For the consecutive second year, the Vietnam SME100 continues to adopt one of the most stringent evaluation criteria for all nominees. The five-step process included both qualitative and quantitative analysis, as well as a 100 percent interview requirement with a focus on growth (turnover, profit, and market share) and resilience (best practices, sustainability, and vision).

"As SMEs tend to be more vulnerable to economic cycles, we can see from the award recipients that they have demonstrated resilience, strength and growth despite the challenges." said Datuk William Ng, group publisher and editor-in-chief of Business Media International.

The SME100 Awards serves as a pinnacle of trust and benchmark of reliability for business owners. Be it for business ventures or attracting investors and clients in both foreign and domestic markets alike, the SME100 Awards has become the beacon of attention on all platforms that matter across all industries.

Vietnam is one of the four ASEAN member countries to organise SME100 Awards, besides Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia.

The experience of the SME100 Winners:

"We are very grateful and proud to be selected as the winner of the prestigious SME100 Award. This great milestone recognition not only belongs to my personal efforts but also the entire staff.

We feel bad capitalist management since it pursues only the profits of the company, not the happiness of people, and it may not be able to lead to new values and consumer behavior centered on young people.

Companies don't exist to make a profit, to make sales only. It exists to be a company needed by people and society, where the employees who work there can be proud of. As a result, everyone can feel happy."

Mr. Segawa So - Founder & CEO of Pascalia Group
