Several new and expanded FDI projects were licensed in October.
Disbursed capital also reached a five-year high of $21.3 billion during the period—an increase of 8.8 per cent YoY.
The figures were recently revealed by Minister of Finance Nguyen Van Thang at the 2025 Vietnam Business Forum (VBF).
Manufacturing and processing continued to attract the most FDI. Over the 10 months, investment in this sector reached $18.2 billion, accounting for more than 57.8 per cent of the total registered capital and increasing by 6.8 per cent YoY, according to domestic media outlets.
Alongside quantity, the quality of FDI has also been improving as more projects in electronics, artificial intelligence and semiconductor flow into Vietnam.
The country’s Foreign Investment Agency assessed that though global FDI flows are adjusting, Vietnam still stands to gain from regional production shifts, particularly in key sectors like renewable energy.
