Foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows into Vietnam continued to show resilience in 2025, with total newly registered capital reaching 38.42 billion USD, up 0.5% year-on-year, according to the National Statistics Office under the Ministry of Finance.
Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Bui Van Khang said that Quang Ninh aims to draw 101 non-state budget domestic investment projects with total registered capital of nearly 569 trillion VND (21.6 billion USD), and 3 billion USD in FDI capital in 2026.
Despite a volatile global environment, Vietnam recorded solid gains in 2025. With flexible and proactive policies under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam and the Government, all 15 key socio-economic targets were met or exceeded, while GDP expanded by about 8.02%, surpassing expectations.
In 2025, Tay Ninh’s economy maintained strong growth momentum, with gross regional domestic product (GRDP) expanding by 9.52%, ranking eighth among 34 provinces and cities nationwide.
More than 5.3 billion USD in new and additional investment was channelled into Ho Chi Minh City’s export processing and industrial zones in 2025, up 0.37% year-on-year and exceeding the annual target by 17.5%.
As production relocation to Southeast Asia accelerates and competition for FDI intensifies, Vietnam faces increasing pressure from regional rivals such as India, Malaysia and Indonesia, which are offering bold tax incentives and developing specialised industrial parks. This reality requires Vietnam to shift its focus from attracting large volumes of capital to drawing high-quality investment, prioritising core technologies, innovation, value chain linkages and higher localisation rates.
Vietnam attracted 33.69 billion USD in foreign direct investment (FDI) in the first 11 months of 2025, with manufacturing and processing continuing to draw the strongest interest from foreign investors.
According to the Foreign Investment Agency under the Ministry of Finance, total registered foreign investment in Vietnam reached 31.52 billion USD in the first 10 months of 2025, up 15.6% year-on-year.
The 10-month figures show that Vietnam remains an attractive destination for foreign investors, who continue to place trust in the country’s growth prospects, investment environment and economic standing.
Foreign direct investment (FDI) remains a highlight of Vietnam’s economy, with registered capital reaching 185 billion USD for 2021–2025, exceeding the previous five-year period.
According to the Ministry of Finance’s National Statistics Office, total registered FDI in Vietnam, including new registrations, capital adjustments, and share purchases, amounted to 31.52 billion USD as of October 31, a 15.6% year-on-year gain.
The manufacturing and processing sector continued to dominate, with 17.68 billion USD, or 83% of the total disbursement over the first 10 months.
In the first nine months of 2025 alone, registered FDI inflows topped 28.54 billion USD, up 15.2% year on year, with disbursed capital hitting a five-year record of 18.8 billion USD.
The high FDI disbursement so far this year is attributed to the fact that businesses have been quickly allocating funds to build factories and purchase machinery and equipment to soon put their plants into operation.
FDI attraction recorded particularly positive results, with 15 newly licensed projects totalling 213.3 million USD, accounting for 27.3% of the new investment projects and 48.1% of their combined capital.
Vietnam’s disbursement of foreign direct investment (FDI) in January – September recorded its highest level in five years, reaching 18.8 billion USD, a year-on-year increase of 8.5%, the National Statistics Office of Vietnam under the Ministry of Finance revealed on October 6.
Total registered investment, including new and adjusted capital across the three areas of HCM City, Binh Duong and Ba Ria–Vung Tau (former administrative units), reached 4.4 billion USD.
With its sweeping coastline, lush forests, and fertile plains, the southern province of Khanh Hoa is doubling down on infrastructure upgrades, administrative streamlining, and tailored policies to court foreign direct investment (FDI), all with an eye toward becoming a centrally-run city by 2030.
Vietnam's foreign direct investment (FDI) disbursement reached 15.4 billion USD in the January-August period, up 8.8% from the same period last year, according to the National Statistics Office (NSO). This marks the highest level for the eight-month period in five years.
Reaffirming Vietnam’s commitment to foreign investors, Finance Minister Nguyen Van Thang said government policies always aim to ensure transparency, fairness and a mutually beneficial environment that promotes innovation and safeguards investor rights, making Vietnam a sustainable and long-term investment destination.
