This was an encouraging figure compared to the same month of last year when foreign investment registered in Việt Nam saw a yearly decline of 20 per cent, the FIA said.
The growth of the number of new projects was much higher than that of investment capital, which demonstrated that small and medium-sized foreign investors continued to believe in the country''s investment environment, the FIA has said.
The latest s from the Viet Nam Foreign Investment Agency revealed that Việt Nam invested US$3.97 million abroad in January, more than three times higher than the same month last year.
Viet Nam is expected to receive more foreign direct investment (FDI) from Japan in the coming years as part of its strategy to shift investment attraction towards high-quality capital.
New strategies to attract foreign direct investment (FDI) must strengthen linkages with domestic enterprises as a lacuna that cannot be ignored anymore, experts say.
