FDI capital increased by over 40% in the first month of the year.

This is a very positive figure, because in January 2023, the total registered investment capital decreased by nearly 20% compared to the same period in 2022. Of the FDI capital in the first month of the year, newly registered capital reached over 2 billion USD, an increase of nearly 67% compared to the same period last year.

Explaining this sharp increase, the Foreign Investment Agency stated that it was due to a more than 24% surge in the number of projects, reaching 190 projects. In particular, several large-scale investment projects contributed to the overall increase in FDI capital in January.

Foreign direct investment (FDI) into Vietnam increased sharply by over 40% in the first month of the year.

However, in the first month of the year, the number of projects registering capital adjustments decreased by 15.7%, with 75 projects and a total registered capital increase of over US$235.4 million (a decrease of more than 23% compared to the same period last year). In addition, the report shows that the amount of capital contributed and purchased shares in the first month of the year decreased sharply, with 174 instances of foreign investors contributing and purchasing shares, with a total capital contribution value of over US$116.5 million, decreasing by 14.7% and 33.1% respectively compared to the same period last year.

The figure reached 1.48 billion USD, an increase of 9.6% compared to the same period in 2023.
