Vietnam forecasts disbursed foreign direct investment to rise to a record this year as the government steps up efforts to attract factories to the Southeast Asian nation.
Disbursed FDI will exceed $16 billion this year, Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment Dang Huy Dong said in an interview in Hanoi on Thursday. Pledged foreign investment will increase up to $28 billion, he said. That compared with last year’s $24.4 billion of pledged foreign investment and a record high of disbursed FDI at $15.8 billion.
