Of these projects, 55 were newly registered with a combined capital of $98.3 million, meanwhile $84.8 million was added to the 14 pre-existing projects.

The majority of Vietnam’s overseas investment focused on science and technology ($81.9 million), the banking sector ($37.1 million), and the information and communications sector ($31 million).

The FIA said that during the January-May period, Vietnamese businesses poured their capital into 25 nations and territories.

With a $60-million project, Spain ranked first among these 25 nations and territories in terms of attracting the largest share of Vietnamese investment. It was followed by the US and Cambodia, with $44.3 million and $38 million, respectively.

To boost Vietnamese investment abroad, the agency was asked by enterprises to help them understand and apply the country’s official and non-official laws, mechanisms, and polices related to overseas investment, as well as the foreign investment attraction policies of recipients. VNA
