Reports delivered at the conference showed that Vietnam had about 1 million active enterprises by late 2025, up more than 25% from 2020, contributing roughly 60% of GDP and employing more than 16 million workers. They also account for the bulk of the country’s trade turnover, while Vietnam ranks among the world’s top 15 destinations for foreign direct investment.
Vietnam will continue to build a safe, transparent and highly competitive business and investment environment, enabling businesses and investors, including foreign ones to operate for a long term in the country, stated Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh while chairing a conference with foreign direct investment (FDI) firms in Hanoi on October 16.
Vietnam attracted US$2.1 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI) in January, representing an year-on-year rise of 4.2%, according to statistics given by the Ministry of Planning and Investment.
Foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows into Vietnam as of November 20 surged by 0.1% to US$26.46 billion against the same period from last year, according to statistics released by the Ministry of Planning and Investment.
Foreign direct investment (FDI) attraction in Vietnam is expected to peak up steam in the coming months following several foreign investors’s decisions to inject huge amounts of capital into a number of major projects across the country, according to industry insiders.
Despite Vietnam facing challenges in restarting its economy following a prolonged lockdown, positive dynamics observed in October would suggest continued pickup and strengthening of growth in coming months, according to the World Bank.
The disbursement of foreign direct investment (FDI) posted an increase of 3.1% in January - November over the same period last year to total US$16.5 billion, despite a fall in the registered FDI inflow.
Ho Chi Minh City drew US$3.71 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI) over the past nine months, up 64.3 percent year on year, according to the municipal People’s Committee.
