The capital city of Hanoi has to date licensed 1,400 foreign direct investment (FDI) projects totalling over US$18 billion, becoming among the country’s leading localities in FDI attraction.
As many as 40 countries and territories making direct investment in Hanoi with Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and European countries being the largest investors, said the municipal People’s Committee at a meeting October 9.
The city has seen a big change in FDI structure with a high FDI rate poured into the service, banking and financial sector from the industrial and business area.
