A stable political environment, a favorable geographic location, an abundant labor force, and a network of free trade agreements (FTAs) have helped Vietnam become a strategic choice for many international corporations, particularly Chinese companies expanding their supply chains.

Overview of FDI Flows for the 2023–2025 Period

FDI is shifting from “commitments” to “implementation”

While in the past many projects remained at the investment registration stage, the current trend of increasing disbursement rates indicates that foreign companies are accelerating the implementation of their projects in Vietnam.

• Year 2023, the disbursement rate reached approximately 63,3%.
• Year 2024, this rate has increased 66,3%.
• To 2025, the disbursement rate reached nearly 72%, the highest level in recent years.

This reflects investor confidence in Vietnam’s business environment and, at the same time, creates significant demand for industrial land, factories, warehouses, offices, and investment support services.

Real estate remains the top sector for attracting FDI

In the structure of foreign investment, Real estate has consistently been among the sectors attracting the most FDI.

This is a major opportunity for professional real estate service providers, particularly those capable of offering comprehensive support to foreign investors.
