According to the Ministry of Planning and Investment, total additional FDI capital reached nearly $5.29 billion in the first four months of 2022, up 92.5 per cent year-on-year, while the total value of capital contributed to buy shares was more than $1.83 billion, up 74.5 per cent. Newly-registered FDI, meanwhile, fell during the period.
A number of important cooperation documents worth billions of USD have been signed recently, with foreign investors committing to further expanding their investment and revealing their confidence in Vietnam’s investment environment. The goal of attracting $40 billion in FDI this year is entirely feasible.
Good control over Covid-19 is considered necessary to attract FDI, not only this year but during the entire 2021-2025 period. Total registered FDI reached $16.7 billion in the first seven months of 2021.
