Another indicator states that, between January and August, disbursed capital totaled 15.4 billion US dollars, an increase of 8.8 percentage points compared to the same period in 2024, Foreign Investment Agency Deputy Director-General Dao Thanh Huong stressed.

The Finance Ministry official stated, “This increase shows the effective absorption capacity of the Vietnamese economy.”

Thanh Huong specified that, with 62.9 percent of total registered capital (13.64 billion dollars), the processing and manufacturing sector remains the lead in attracting FDI.

The deputy director noted, however, that despite these results, achieving the annual target of attracting 40 billion greenbacks in FDI “remains a challenge.”
