New FDI pledges in the January-August period rose 7.7 percent from a year ago to $14.4 billion, with most of the funds going to manufacturing, processing and real estate projects, the ministry said in a report posted on its website on Tuesday.
Vietnam is forecast to receive FDI of up to $15 billion this year, after getting a record high $14.5 billion in 2015, buoyed by strong economic growth and the finalisation of several free-trade accords. |
