In the first four months of 2025, the city attracted a total of $1.48 billion in FDI, marking a 31 per cent increase compared to the same period in 2024. This comprised 114 newly registered projects with total registered capital of $41 million; 45 projects with capital increases totaling nearly $1.2 billion; and 111 instances of foreign investors registering to contribute capital or purchase shares, reaching $241 million.

In the same period, Hanoi issued business registration certificates for 9,400 newly established enterprises with total registered capital of VND74.7 trillion ($2.87 billion). Additionally, 4,800 businesses resumed operations, up 5.5 per cent year-on-year; 16,800 enterprises registered for temporary suspension, up 18.8 per cent; and 1,900 enterprises were dissolved, up 33.2 per cent.

In order to attract investors, Hanoi has proposed multiple solutions to facilitate business operations, including the development of synchronized industrial infrastructure to meet investor requirements.

The Hanoi Department of Industry and Trade and the Management Board of Hanoi High-Tech Parks and Industrial Zones have been assigned to accelerate the development of high-tech parks, biotechnology zones, industrial clusters, and craft village clusters, following the "smart - green - clean" model.

Additionally, the city is focusing on administrative procedure reform and proactive coordination among departments and sectors to resolve difficulties and obstacles, aiming to complete the development of synchronized industrial infrastructure as soon as possible to attract investors.

Hanoi is also expediting the finalization of the investment promotion list and strengthening investment promotion both at home and abroad, with a particular focus on attracting strategic investors.

Along with that, the city aims to enhance the attraction of foreign direct investment (FDI), foreign indirect investment (FII), and official development assistance (ODA) in line with the new context, while promoting technology transfer, experience exchange, and the effective use of each country’s strengths and resources.
