As of 31 July 2026, total registered foreign direct investment (FDI) in Vietnam reached USD 38.06 billion, up 58.0% year-on-year. Singapore, South Korea, China and Japan led the group of largest source countries.
Overview of registered FDI capital in the first seven months of 2026
According to Foreign Investment Agency data released by the National Statistics Office (Ministry of Finance) on 3 August 2026, total registered FDI in Vietnam — comprising newly registered capital, adjusted capital and the value of capital contributions and share purchases — reached USD 38.06 billion in the first seven months of the year, up 58.0% from the same period in 2025.
The breakdown is as follows:
Processing and manufacturing industries continue to lead
Within newly registered capital, processing and manufacturing industries accounted for USD 11.58 billion — equivalent to 55.0% of total newly registered capital. The production and distribution of electricity, gas, water and air conditioning ranked second with USD 3.13 billion (14.9%); all remaining sectors accounted for USD 6.34 billion (30.1%).
On the disbursement side, processing and manufacturing likewise held a dominant share at USD 12.55 billion, equivalent to 82.6% of total disbursed FDI nationwide — an indication that actual manufacturing capital continues to flow strongly into industrial parks.
Singapore, South Korea and China lead the group of source countries
Of the 69 countries and territories with newly licensed projects in Vietnam in the first seven months of 2026, the six largest investors were:
Four of the six leading markets — Singapore, South Korea, China (including Hong Kong) and Japan.This provides the basis on which VB Nha Mac Joint Stock Company positions the project as a destination aligned with the capital flows that are genuinely shifting into Vietnam.
Investment locations: Hai Phong among the leading group
By locality, Thai Nguyen led the country with nearly USD 5.8 billion in newly registered capital. Ho Chi Minh City ranked second with more than USD 3.6 billion from 1,235 projects, followed by Nghe An (more than USD 2.3 billion), Hai Phong (more than USD 1.8 billion), Bac Ninh (more than USD 1.3 billion) and Dong Nai (more than USD 794 million).
Hai Phong — the locality adjacent to Quang Ninh within the Hai Phong–Quang Ninh industrial corridor — ranks among the four leading provinces and cities nationwide in attracting new FDI.
The 58% increase in FDI capital and its concentration in processing and manufacturing (55% of newly registered capital) are consistent with the target sectors of VB Quang Yen Industrial Park: high technology, supporting industries, processing and manufacturing, and supply chains.
The location of VB Quang Yen IP within the Hai Phong–Quang Ninh corridor — an area currently recording strong FDI inflows — together with its development orientation as a port-integrated industrial park, is an advantage for engaging directly with investors seeking new manufacturing sites in northern Vietnam.
