VOV.VN - Vietnam attracted US$34.65 billion in registered foreign direct investment (FDI) in the first half of 2026, a 61% increase from a year earlier, highlighting the country's continued appeal as a destination for international investors.
Data from the National Statistics Office (NSO) shows newly registered FDI reached US$17.39 billion across 2,013 projects, marking a sharp increase in registered capital compared with the same period last year.
Additional capital injected into existing projects totalled US$11.04 billion, while foreign investors contributed US$6.22 billion through capital contributions and share acquisitions, up nearly 90% year on year, indicating sustained growth in both new and expansion investment.
Manufacturing and processing received the largest amount of foreign investment, accounting for around 60–63% of total newly registered and additional capital. The sector continued to dominate FDI inflows, underscoring Vietnam's increasingly important role in global manufacturing and supply chains.
Asian economies continued to lead foreign investment into Vietnam. Singapore was the largest investor with more than US$7.3 billion in newly registered capital, followed by the Republic of Korea, Japan and China. Together, these economies represented the majority of FDI committed during the first six months of the year.
Meanwhile, FDI disbursement reached an estimated US$13.03 billion, the highest level recorded for the first half of a year in the past five years and up 11.2% from a year earlier. The figures suggest that not only are investment commitments increasing, but project implementation is also gathering pace.
Manufacturing accounted for the bulk of realised FDI, with US$10.76 billion, or 82.6% of the total. Real estate absorbed US$965.2 million (7.4%), while electricity, gas, hot water, steam and air-conditioning supply projects received US$479.2 million, representing 3.7%.
Overall, Vietnam's FDI performance in the first half of 2026 reflected robust growth in both the scale and quality of investment inflows, with Asian investors continuing to play a leading role, particularly in the manufacturing sector.
Vietnam is entering a new phase in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) with a double challenge - securing larger capital inflows while ensuring that new projects deliver higher technological value.
VOV.VN - Vietnam has emerged as one of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic manufacturing hubs, attracting steady foreign direct investment (FDI) from Japan, the Republic of Korea (RoK) and Europe.
