Poland sees decline in foreign direct investment in Vietnam in December

In December 2024, Poland registered no new projects but recorded US$0.02 million in newly registered capital, according to Vietnam’s Ministry of Planning and Investment. This marks a 100 percent decrease compared to November, which saw no newly registered capital but had recorded 1 new project with US$0.13 million in capital.

In 2024, Polish firms invested in 2 new projects in Vietnam with US$45 million in newly registered capital.

Foreign direct investment (FDI) from Poland into Vietnam remains modest but demonstrates potential for growth, reflecting the strengthening economic ties between the two nations. Polish investments are primarily concentrated in sectors such as food processing, pharmaceuticals, and renewable energy, leveraging Poland’s expertise in these areas. Some Polish companies have also entered Vietnam’s agricultural and manufacturing sectors, aiming to capitalise on the country’s expanding consumer market and integration into global trade networks.

The EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) has provided a significant boost to bilateral trade and investment, offering Polish businesses preferential access to Vietnam’s growing economy. With Vietnam focusing on industrial modernisation, green energy, and sustainable development, opportunities for Polish FDI are expected to expand, particularly in areas like clean technologies, advanced manufacturing, and logistics. The deepening of trade and investment cooperation between Poland and Vietnam signals a promising future for bilateral economic collaboration.
