VOV.VN - The disbursement of foreign direct investment (FDI) witnessed a positive annual increase of 2% to approximately US$2.5 billion during the first two months of the year, according to figures released by the Ministry of Planning and Investment.

VOV.VN - Foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows in Vietnam are set to record strong growth as the world moves past the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic, with plenty of investment coming from overseas Vietnamese, according to insiders.

VOV.VN - Overseas remittances to Vietnam are projected to fall slightly from US$17 billion last year to more than US$15.6 billion this year, reported the World Bank.

Vietnam is still regarded by investors as an attractive destination thanks to its stable politics and macro economy, favourable geographical location, and advantages in land and human resources, according to Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment Tran Quoc Phuong.

The first eight months of 2020 have seen few foreign direct investment (FDI) projects in Vietnam's textile industry, a far less lively picture compared to the same period last year, the department of foreign investment under the Ministry of Planning and Investment has reported.

Free trade agreements (FTAs) that Vietnam has signed with its partners have been an important factor attracting foreign investments to the country.
