The manufacturing and processing industry remained the primary recipient, drawing $15.56 billion, or nearly 83 per cent of total disbursed capital.
Total registered foreign direct investment (FDI) hit $28.54 billion, up 15.2 per cent YoY. Of this, 2,926 new projects worth $12.39 billion were licensed—an increase of 17.4 per cent in number though the value fell 8.6 per cent. Meanwhile, 1,092 existing projects saw capital expansions totalling $11.32 billion, a 48 per cent surge, said Vietnamese media reports.
Foreign investors also injected $4.84 billion through stake acquisitions and capital contributions, a 35 per cent YoY increase across 2,527 deals. Singapore emerged as Vietnam’s top investor with $3.43 billion, followed by mainland China ($2.88 billion), Hong Kong ($1.06 billion), Sweden ($1 billion), Japan ($918.4 million), and Taiwan ($780 million).
The strong FDI inflows reflect Vietnam’s continued appeal as a regional manufacturing hub amid supply chain diversification and policy reforms aimed at attracting sustainable, high-value investments.
