Vietnam’s southeast key economic region is showing promising signs of foreign direct investment (FDI) growth in the first two months of 2025, reinforcing its position as a prime destination for global capital.

Despite a modest influx of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the real estate sector since early 2024, Savills Vietnam sees a silver lining in the surge of FDI into high-tech manufacturing.

Germany international broadcaster Deutsche Welle (DW) recently ran an article on its website spotlighting several factors driving Vietnam’s economic growth.

Vietnam has so far attracted 3,500 foreign direct investment (FDI) projects in the garment - textile industry with a combined value of US$37 billion, according to the Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association (VITAS).

VOV.VN - Vietnam attracted more than US$18 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI) during the past seven months of the year, representing an increase of 10.9% against the same period from last year, according to details given by the Foreign Investment Agency (FIA).

VOV.VN - Foreign businesses injected nearly US$15.19 billion worth of foreign direct investment (FDI) into the Vietnamese economy in the first six months of 2024, representing a year-on-year rise of 13.1%, according to the General Statistics Office.

VOV.VN - While global foreign direct investment (FDI) last year increased by just 3%, FDI inflows into Vietnam witnessed an upturn of 32.1%, thereby affirming the attractiveness of the local investment climate, according to the 2023 FDI annual report released on March 26.

The USD/VND exchange rate has seen notable developments in the first month of 2024 when it increased significantly in both official and free markets.

According to the Asia House Annual Outlook 2024, Vietnam's economy is likely to continue to outperform its regional neighbours through 2024, with its manufacturing and export industries drawing significant inward investment, given the openness of the economy and the strength of its fundamentals.

VOV.VN - There are sanguine economic prospects ahead for Vietnam this year as foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows are anticipated to be further poured into the country over the course of 2024, especially in the semiconductor chip and high technology field, according to industry insiders.
