An analysis report from UNIDO about “BUSINESS REGISTRATION REFORM IN VIET NAM”

We have been working with UNIDO since 2009, developing the National Business Registration System (NBRS). We are proud to be a part of the successful reform, which has improved the business environment in Viet Nam.

Business registration reforms are among the priorities of the Government of Viet Nam to further improve the country’s business environment. Correspondingly, one of the areas of ongoing UNIDO assistance concerns support to improve the processes and procedures involved in starting a business in Viet Nam.

UNIDO has issued a quite comprehensive report on the BRR in Vietnam. This publication constitutes a situation analysis of the BRR reforms in Viet Nam and UNIDO’s assistance in this field. The report is aimed at

  • Putting these reforms and their results within the context of wider business environment reforms in Viet Nam and also positioning Viet Nam globally in this regard;
  • Summarizing and sharing the main achievements to date in the implementation of the UNIDO BRR support in order to foster exchange of experiences and learning.
