Despite a fall in investment capital, the number of projects rose slightly, with 124 newly registered projects licensed, meaning investment overseas continues to be a highly attractive investment channel for businesses.

Vietnamese businesses are currently investing in 79 countries and territories around the world, focusing on 16 industries and fields. Notably, investing in high-tech agriculture is a great advantage of Vietnamese businesses.

So far, Vietnamese investment overseas has hit more than US$22 billion, with 1,701 projects in operation. This year, many businesses have performed efficiently, remitting home nearly US$2 billion.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Planning and Investment also reported that Vietnam has attracted nearly US$37 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI) this year, of which US$23 billion has been disbursed, a record high figure.
