In December 2024, Switzerland registered 1 new project with US$2.81 million in newly registered capital, according to Vietnam’s Ministry of Planning and Investment.

In 2024, Switzerland invested in 13 new projects with US$103.21 million in newly registered capital.

Foreign direct investment (FDI) from Switzerland into Vietnam has steadily increased, reflecting the strengthening economic ties between the two countries. Swiss investments are concentrated in sectors such as finance, pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, and manufacturing. Prominent Swiss companies, including Nestlé, Novartis, Roche, and ABB, have established a strong presence in Vietnam, contributing to industrial development, healthcare, and the consumer goods market.

Vietnam’s favourable investment climate, skilled workforce, and integration into global trade agreements, including the EU-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA), have attracted Swiss investors seeking opportunities in Southeast Asia. Additionally, Switzerland’s expertise in sustainability and innovation aligns with Vietnam’s priorities in renewable energy, green technologies, and digital transformation. As Vietnam continues to modernise its economy and focus on sustainable growth, Swiss FDI is expected to expand further, particularly in high-value industries and environmentally sustainable projects, deepening the economic partnership between the two nations.
