Hanoi: Vietnam saw about 21.3 billion USD in foreign direct investment (FDI) disbursement during the first ten months of 2025, an 8.8% increase from the same period last year and the highest 10-month level recorded over the past five years, reported the National Statistics Office (NSO). During January-October, total registered FDI – including newly registered capital, additional capital, and capital contributions or share purchases by foreign investors – reached 31.52 billion USD as of October 31, up 15.6% year-on-year.

According to Vietnam News Agency, this substantial growth in FDI reflects global investors’ increasing confidence in Vietnam’s economic landscape. The surge in FDI disbursement not only marks a significant milestone for the country but also underscores its position as a favorable destination for foreign investors. The increase in total registered FDI further highlights the robust investment activities, with foreign investors actively contributing to the country’s economic development through various means including new projects, additional investments in existing projects, and capital contributions.

The report from the NSO illustrates that the surge in FDI is driven by a combination of strategic policies and Vietnam’s stable economic environment, which continues to attract substantial foreign interest. The growth in capital infusion is expected to bolster various sectors, providing a significant boost to the national economy. This trend of rising foreign investment is anticipated to continue, fostering further economic growth and development in the coming years.
