The banking sector dominates with 22 firms, including six in the top ten. The oil and gas, real estate and retail sectors follow.

Petrolimex leads revenue with US$8.35 billion, while Vietcombank tops after tax profit with $636 million.

With $57 billion, BIDV takes first place in terms of assets, while Vingroup leads market capitalisation with approximately $16.5 billion. — VNS
