FDI inflow expected to hit 40 billion USD

Experts said FDI was an important factor pushing Vietnam’s GDP growth rate in the first half of 2024 to 6.2%, laying the foundation for the Ministry of Planning and Investment to adjust the country’s growth target for this year to 7%.

According to the General Statistics Office, as of June 20, Vietnam had drawn nearly 15.19 billion USD in FDI, up 13.1% over the same period last year.

Foreign investors are still confident in the Vietnamese market and interested in continuing to invest in Vietnam. The FDI can reach 39-40 billion USD this year, higher than the 2023 figure.

Experts attributed the good FDI attraction results so far this year to the country’s stable macro-economic situation and good conditions in infrastructure system, human resources, tax, fee and land reserve access.
