Hanoi (VNA) – Vietnam’s total investment across society during the first half of 2025 reached an estimated 1.59 quadrillion VND (over 60 billion USD), up 9.8% year-on-year, reflecting continued positive momentum across various sectors, according to the National Statistics Office under the Ministry of Finance.
By sector, state investment is valued at 445.8 trillion VND (28% of the total), increasing by 14.1%. Non-state investment reached 858.9 trillion VND (54%), up 7.5%, while the foreign direct investment (FDI) sector contributed 287.2 trillion VND (18%), up 10.6%.
In the second quarter alone, total investment was estimated at 921.5 trillion VND, rising 10.5% year-on-year. That consists of 262.1 trillion VND from the state sector (up 14.7%), 493.1 trillion VND from the non-state sector (up 8%), and 166.3 trillion VND from the FDI sector (up 11.6%).
By the end of June, public investment disbursement from the state budget exceeded 268.13 trillion VND, or 29.6% of the annual plan and 32.5% of the Prime Minister’s assigned target. Local budgets saw a higher disbursement rate (37.8% of the PM's target) compared to that of the central budget (25.3%).
The Ministry of Finance cited several challenges to public investment disbursement, including site clearance issues, delays in land pricing due to complex ownership histories, and administrative restructuring. Rising material costs and project adjustments amid local government restructuring have also hampered progress.
To meet the disbursement target by year-end, the ministry has urged ministries and provinces to enhance leadership accountability, accelerate project implementation, and promptly address bottlenecks. Seven working groups have been tasked with inspecting and resolving issues nationwide./.
