This robust increase far surpasses the 6.6% growth rate recorded in the same period last year, underscoring growing business and investor confidence in Vietnam’s economic outlook and investment climate.

In the second quarter alone, disbursed capital was estimated at VND921.5 trillion, a year-on-year rise of 10.5%,  showing a clear acceleration in investment activities.

The public sector continued to play a key role, with realised capital reaching VND445.8 trillion, accounting for 28% of total investment and posting the highest growth rate at 14.1%. This reflects the government’s push to expedite public investment, especially in major infrastructure projects.

The non-state sector remained the largest contributor, accounting for 54% of total capital. It disbursed VND858.9 trillion, up 7.5% from the same period last year, reaffirming its role as a mainstay of the economy.

Meanwhile, the foreign-invested sector also saw strong performance, with VND287.2 trillion disbursed, an 18% share of the total and a 10.6% increase year-on-year.

A notable highlight was the effectiveness of FDI capital flows. Disbursed FDI reached an estimated US$11.72 billion, up 8.1% year-on-year, the highest for any first-half period since 2021.

As of June 30, total FDI pledges stood at US$21.52 billion, up 32.6% and the highest level recorded in the past 15 years. This included nearly US$9.3 billion in newly-registered capital across 1,988 new projects, approximately US$8.95 billion in additional capital for 826 existing projects, and nearly US$3.3 billion in capital contributions and share purchases.
