VOV.VN - Despite the negative impact caused by the prolonged COVID-19 outbreak, Vietnam remains an attractive destination for foreign investors over the long run, Choi Joo-ho, CEO of Samsung Vietnam, told local media outlets on September 27.

Despite COVID-19, foreign investors’ new capital registered in Vietnam reached US$22.15 billion in the first nine months, up 4.4% compared to the same period last year, as heard at the Government Portal’s online conference held on September 27.

Despite a decrease in foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows into Vietnam in recent months due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, economists assessed Vietnam remains attractive to foreign investors and needs to take advantage of FDI attraction opportunities to boost economic growth.

Recent announcements made by foreign investors on additional investment to expand production in Vietnam reflect their trust in Vietnam’s prospects for economic recovery, reported the Dau tu (Investment Review) newspaper.

VOV.VN - Vietnam has attracted over US$22 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI) during the opening nine months of the year, representing a rise of 4.4% against the same period from last year, according to the Foreign Investment Agency (FIA).

Vietnam may attract about US$30 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI) in 2021, posting a year-on-year rise of 2%, economists forecast, pointing to positive signs in FDI attraction in the first eight months of 2021 despite the complexities of COVID-19.

Positive signs of investment inflows have been seen during meetings between National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue and executives from many big European firms on the occasion of Hue's working visit to the European Parliament and a number of European countries from September 5-11.

VOV.VN - While foreign direct investment (FDI) in some neighbouring localities plunged due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, major FDI continued to pour into the southern province of Binh Duong, one of the localities hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.
