In the first eight months of 2025, Vietnam attracted over 26 billion USD in FDI, a 27.3% year-on-year increase. Disbursed capital reached 15.4 billion USD, up 8.8%, reflecting strong absorptive capacity. The manufacturing and processing sector remained the top recipient, accounting for 62.9% of newly registered and adjusted FDI.

While results are encouraging, achieving the annual target of 38–40 billion USD will remain a challenge.
To sustain momentum, Huong stressed the need to improve the investment climate, streamline procedures, and shift from pre-approval to post-inspection to reduce delays. Provinces were urged to enhance business support, strengthen investment promotion, and attract high-tech projects
