According to the report, disbursed capital reached 27.62 billion USD, up 9% year-on-year and the highest level in recent years, reflecting international investors’ confidence in Vietnam’s investment environment and growth prospects.
The report also highlights a shift in the structure of capital flows. The share of newly registered capital declined, while adjusted capital rose to more than 14 billion USD and capital contributions and share purchases exceeded 7 billion USD, marking a strong increase from the previous year. This suggests that foreign investors’ confidence is increasingly reflected in their decisions to expand existing investments.
The processing and manufacturing sector remained the main driver, attracting over 21 billion USD, or 54.7% of total registered FDI.
Investment inflows continued to concentrate in major growth hubs such as Ho Chi Minh City, Bac Ninh, Hanoi, Dong Nai, Tay Ninh and Hai Phong, while showing signs of expansion to emerging localities including Gia Lai, Phu Tho and Ninh Binh.
Vietnam’s outbound investment also showed positive momentum. Last year, it totaled 1.14 billion USD, spanning 36 countries and territories. Vietnamese enterprises are maturing, not only as recipients of technology but also as investors expanding production, trade and brand presence in international markets, the report said.
