FDI Mainly Poured in Manufacturing and Processing
Some 70 percent of foreign direct investment went to the manufacturing and processing sectors in 2012, according to the General Statistics Office.
Vietnam attracted nearly US$13 billion in foreign direct investment, down 22.4 percent.
Meanwhile, the disbursed volume was estimated at US$10.46 billion, a decrease of 4.9 percent against 2011.
The slowdown was due to the reduction of large-scale real estate projects and improvement of the quality of foreign direct investment inflow.
This year, FDI enterprises gained remarkable export value of over US$72 billion, up 31 percent against 2011.
