Hanoi has set out plans to attract around $4.5 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI) this year, according to a report from the Vietnam News Agency.
The plan has been approved under the municipal People’s Committee’s Decision issued recently on international economic integration in 2026, aiming to create momentum for rapid and sustainable growth, while simultaneously enhancing the competitiveness and position of the capital city in the context of deep integration.
According to the plan, the city sets the goal of significantly improving the investment and business environment; expanding and diversifying export markets; reducing dependence on traditional markets; and linking economic integration with the political, cultural, social, scientific and technological, and defence and security sectors.
Besides a goal of welcoming 8.6 million international tourists to the capital in 2026, Hanoi also plans to increase the rate of key export businesses achieving green and sustainable certifications to 15-20%, while maintaining and improving its ranking in the FTA implementation index. This is a step to enhance the prestige and integration capacity of the capital's business community on the international stage.
