The Vietnam's business confidence index (BCI) in the second quarter this year increased by 31 points over the first quarter to 130 points, the online newspaper vnexpress reported Tuesday.
The figure was released in a recent survey, conducted by the Vietnam World Vest Base Financial Intelligence Services (WVB FISL) and the PetroVietnam Finance Consultancy and Investment Company ( PVFC Invest).
There were 192 companies in 11 key industries of Vietnam including transport, banking and finance and oil sectors, getting involved in the survey.
Up to 53 percent of companies surveyed held that the country's overall economic health had improved compared to 12 months ago. Meanwhile, as many as 59 percent said that they had the plan to recruit new employees in the next 12 months.
In the survey, most Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) expressed confidence in increasing companies' revenues and profits for the next 12 months. Up to 81 percent gave higher sales projections while 72 percent expected their profits would increase.
When asked about the government's stimulus package, all respondents said that they believed such key measures, including interest rate reduction of consumer and corporate loans, would boost economic growth.
