From January to February, 516 new investment projects were registered, totaling more than 2.19 billion USD and marking a 10% increase in the number of projects compared to the same period last year.
The rise in new investment projects and capital adjustments and share purchases reflect Vietnam's continued standing as a trusted investment destination, the agency said.
Vietnam’s largest investors are from Asia, with the Republic of Korea leading the way, followed by Singapore, China, Japan, and Thailand.
Foreign investors directed funds into 18 out of Vietnam’s 21 economic sectors. The manufacturing and processing industries attracted the largest share, followed by real estate, science, technology, wholesale, and retail.
