This upward trend in startup capital was fueled by a substantial boost in the number of new businesses registered, which reached nearly 243,600, a 4.8% decline compared to the same period last year. Despite this slight decrease in the number of new businesses, the total additional registered capital rose by 11.6% year-on-year, amounting to nearly VND5.8 quadrillion ($227 billion). October alone saw nearly 12,600 businesses established, with around VND254.8 trillion ($10 billion) in registered capital, representing an 8.7% increase in the number of businesses and a 45% rise in capital from the previous month.",
