Israel sees jump in foreign direct investment in Vietnam in December

In December 2024, Israel registered no new projects but recorded US$540,000 in newly registered capital, according to Vietnam’s Ministry of Planning and Investment. This marks an increase compared to November, which recorded no new projects and US$20,000 in newly registered capital.

In 2024, Israel invested in 4 new projects in Vietnam with US$5.09 million in newly registered capital.

Foreign direct investment (FDI) from Israel into Vietnam has been steadily growing, reflecting the strengthening economic ties between the two nations. Israeli investments in Vietnam are concentrated in sectors such as agriculture, water management, technology, and renewable energy. Israeli companies bring advanced technologies and expertise, particularly in areas like precision agriculture, irrigation systems, and solar energy, which align with Vietnam’s focus on sustainable development and industrial modernisation.

The Vietnam-Israel Free Trade Agreement (VIFTA), signed recently, has further bolstered economic cooperation, offering preferential trade and investment conditions for Israeli businesses in Vietnam. With Vietnam’s growing economy and demand for innovative solutions in agriculture and energy, Israel’s strengths in high-tech industries present significant opportunities for expanded collaboration. As the two countries deepen their partnership, Israeli FDI is expected to grow in sectors like agri-tech, clean energy, and digital transformation, contributing to Vietnam’s long-term economic growth and innovation capacity.
