Hanoi has attracted strong inflows of foreign direct investment (FDI) from 2020 to 2025, reaffirming its position as one of Vietnam’s most dynamic economic hubs, according to a report from the Viet Nam News Agency.
Over the five-year period, the capital city drew more than $15.6 billion in FDI, reflecting both its growing business appeal and authorities’ sustained efforts to improve infrastructure, streamline administrative procedures, and strengthen governance.
Of the total, more than $10.8 billion — or 69.2% — came from capital expansion in 1,007 existing projects. This indicates that most investors are not new entrants but long-term partners expanding their operations, demonstrating continued confidence in Hanoi’s investment environment and growth potential.
In the first ten months of 2025 alone, the city recorded nearly $3.9 billion in FDI, nearly triple the figure of the same period last year and surpassing its annual target. Notably, additional investment from 115 ongoing projects accounted for more than 83% of the total, underscoring the strong trend of reinvestment and diversification among existing investors.
