AsemconnectVietnam - Vietnam’s foreign direct investment (FDI) attraction continues to prosper in July, and quality of FDI capital flows increase sharply thanks to careful project selection, Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung said at a recent regular Government meeting last month.
According to the ministry’s Foreign Investment Agency, the total registered FDI capital in Vietnam this year to the end of July surpassed 18 billion USD, up 10.9% over the same period in 2023.
Notably, disbursed FDI capital reached more than 12.55 billion USD, up 8.4% over the same period last year. This is the highest volume of FDI capital disbursed in the January-July period in the last five years.
Many international organisations projected that with this momentum, the volume of disbursed FDI capital in the coming time will continue to rise. An improved business environment and the implementation of major infrastructure projects can facilitate FDI attraction. Moreover, foreign investors are very interested in the semiconductor industry in Vietnam.
Minister Dung said that to further attract FDI in the coming time, the ministry will work to reduce difficulties for investors, especially those relating to institutions, laws, and administrative procedures.
Vietnam will focus on attracting large-scale, high-quality, high-tech FDI projects in the processing, manufacturing, electronics, and semiconductor industries.
Regarding the development of the semiconductor industry in Vietnam, Dung affirmed that the recent coordination between the National Innovation Center (NIC) and domestic and international partners to develop microchip design training programmes is an important step to help Vietnam to gradually master semiconductor technologies.
According to the Dong Nai Industrial Zones Authority (DIZA), in the first seven months of this year, the province attracted more than 1 billion USD in FDI, 46% higher than its planned target.
Newly licensed FDI projects in the province during the period were mainly in the semiconductor manufacturing, electrical and electronic components, mechanical engineering, textiles, and prefabricated metal products.
None of the projects were in the list of industries with factors causing environmental pollution or labour-intensive industries. They all met criteria on advanced technology, said the DIZA.
Chairman of Binh Duong Provincial People’s Committee Vo Van Minh said that to attract high-quality FDI, Vietnam needs to offer more incentives to hi-tech projects, continue administrative reforms and improve infrastructure, especially those to link airports, seaports, and major provinces/cities with industrial centres.
In addition, energy infrastructure also requires investment and upgrade, especially the development of renewable energy projects that meet the requirements of high-tech projects, protect the environment, and minimise CO2 emissions, he said.
