Vietnam Secures $34.65 Billion in First Half 2026 Investment

The National Statistics Office reported that Vietnam secured $34.65 billion in foreign investment commitments during the first half of 2026, a 61 percent increase over the same period in the previous year. Newly registered capital totaled $17.39 billion across 2,013 projects, with Singapore providing the largest share of new investment at over $7.3 billion. Other major contributors included South Korea, Japan, and mainland China.

Investment flowed primarily into the manufacturing and processing sectors, which attracted $17.91 billion, followed by real estate at $5.1 billion. Realised foreign investment increased 11.2 percent to $13.03 billion, the highest first-half level recorded in five years.

These growth figures support the long-term strategy of the Politburo of the Communist Party of Vietnam under Resolution 10-NQ/TW. The governing body has set targets of $300 billion in registered investment and $200 billion in disbursed capital as part of a five-year plan to develop the foreign-invested sector by 2030.
