According to the latest data from the Foreign Investment Agency, Vietnam’s total overseas investment capital — including both newly registered and adjusted capital — reached USD 713.9 million in the first four months of 2026, 2.3 times higher than the same period last year.
Specifically, 74 new projects were granted investment certificates with total registered capital of USD 691.1 million, up 2.6 times year-on-year. In addition, four projects adjusted their investment capital, with added capital totaling USD 22.8 million.
However, reduced capital accounted for as much as 43.2% of the total adjusted value, indicating a certain level of project screening during the overseas investment process.
By sector, investment capital was concentrated in several key industries. Electricity, gas, hot water, steam and air conditioning production and distribution attracted USD 163.8 million, accounting for 22.9% of total investment capital. The construction sector received USD 153 million, equivalent to 21.4%, while transportation and warehousing reached USD 149.2 million, accounting for 20.9%.
Vietnamese investment capital has now expanded to 32 countries and territories during the first four months of 2026.
While Laos remained the largest traditional destination with USD 198 million (27.7%), the list of recipient markets also included several emerging destinations. Kyrgyzstan ranked second with USD 149.9 million (21%), followed by United Kingdom with USD 82.8 million (11.6%) and Kazakhstan with USD 36 million (5%).
Other investment destinations included the British Virgin Islands with USD 30.1 million (4.2%), Angola with USD 30 million (4.1%) and Netherlands with USD 29.4 million (4%).
Meanwhile, Vietnam continues to be an attractive destination for global foreign direct investment (FDI). Total registered FDI into Vietnam in the first four months of 2026 reached USD 18.24 billion, up 32% compared to the same period last year.
Notably, realized FDI was estimated at USD 7.4 billion, up 9.8%, marking the highest four-month disbursement level in the past five years.
Among the 53 countries and territories with newly licensed investment projects in Vietnam during the first four months of 2026, Singapore was the largest investor with USD 6.05 billion, accounting for 49.8% of newly registered capital. It was followed by South Korea with USD 4.08 billion (33.6%), China with USD 524.1 million (4.3%), Japan with USD 462 million (3.8%), Hong Kong with USD 329.2 million (2.7%) and the Netherlands with USD 318.5 million (2.6%).
Mr. Nguyen Duc Hien said Vietnam’s FDI attraction trend continues to maintain positive momentum, with registered FDI capital rising sharply compared to the same period last year, demonstrating stronger confidence among international investors in Vietnam’s investment and business environment.
