Japanese FDI in Vietnam reaches US$3.01 billion year-to-date, October sees significant increase

Japanese foreign direct investment in Vietnam has reached US$3.01 billion across 218 projects year-to-date, highlighting Japan’s significant role in Vietnam’s economic development. October 2024 saw a notable increase, with 40 new projects valued at US$428 million, a sharp rise compared to just 16 projects worth US$66 million in September.

The October surge underscores Japan’s growing confidence in Vietnam as a key investment destination. With year-to-date figures indicating strong contributions, Japanese investments are primarily directed towards manufacturing, technology, and infrastructure, aligning with Vietnam’s development priorities.

Japan’s consistent investment flow reinforces its position as one of Vietnam’s top FDI sources.
