Ngân Hà -

The capital city granted licenses to 192 new projects in the period.

Vietnam’s capital city attracted $3.67 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI) in the first half of 2025, a surge of 216% year-on-year, making it the top FDI destination in the country during the period.

In June alone, FDI inflows into Hanoi reached over $799 million, highlighting strong investor confidence in the city’s economic outlook.

Between January and June, the city granted licenses to 192 new FDI projects worth $237.5 million, while 89 existing projects increased their capital by a remarkable $3.14 billion, accounting for 86% of the total.

The sharp rise in additional investments underscores the effective operations of foreign enterprises and reflects Hanoi’s potential as a hub for expansion and reinvestment.

Strategic investment partnerships came from major economies including Malaysia, Singapore, Japan, China, South Korea, and Taiwan (China).

According to Mr. Le Trung Hieu, Deputy Director of Hanoi’s Finance Department, the result reflects strong confidence from global corporations in Hanoi’s business environment and long-term sustainable growth.

The capital city continues to attract investors thanks to its strategic location, modern infrastructure, and highly skilled workforce, particularly in the science and technology sectors.
