Explaining why newly registered FDI capital decreased, while additional registered capital increased sharply in the 7 months, the Foreign Investment Agency said that newly registered capital has not fully recovered after measures to prevent and control the COVID-19 epidemic.
In addition, at the same time last year, Vietnam attracted many newly-registered FDI projects with capital scale of over 100 million USD. Meanwhile, many on-going FDI projects increased their capital.
According to the Foreign Investment Agency, in the 7 months, the processing and manufacturing industry continued to absorb the most FDI capital, with over 10 billion USD, accounting for 64.3% of the total registered FDI capital. It was followed by real estate business, with over 3.21 billion USD, accounting for nearly 20.7% of the total.
As many as 88 countries and territories have invested in Vietnam during the period. In which, Singapore leads with a total investment of over 4.3 billion USD, accounting for 27.7 % of the total. The Republic of Korea ranked second with nearly 3.26 billion USD, accounting for nearly 21% of the total.
Realized investment capital of FDI projects in the 7 months reached 11.57 billion USD, up 10.2% year on year./.
