Thailand sees stable foreign direct investment into Vietnam in December

In December 2024, Thailand registered 2 new projects with US$47 million in newly registered capital, according to Vietnam’s Ministry of Planning and Investment. This represents no change in the number of new projects compared to November, which also recorded 2 new projects with US$37.10 million in newly registered capital.

In 2024, Thailand invested in 28 new projects with US$225.24 million in newly registered capital.

The stable performance in December highlights Thailand’s ongoing interest in Vietnam’s growing market, particularly in sectors such as manufacturing and services. Thai companies continue to play an important role in Vietnam’s industrial and economic development.

Major Thai corporations, including CP Group, Siam Cement Group (SCG), and Central Group, have established significant operations in Vietnam, contributing to both domestic market development and export-oriented production.
