Vietnam: A Magnet for US FDI with its Growing Confidence.

As of April 30, 2025, the United States secured its position as a prominent investor in Vietnam, with 1,447 valid FDI projects and a total registered capital of over $11.94 billion. This impressive performance ranks the U.S. 10th among 143 countries investing in the dynamic Southeast Asian economy.

Meta Group, a leading American corporation, recognizes Vietnam’s strategic importance.

American investors have diversified their portfolio across 18 sectors in Vietnam, with a focus on accommodation, food services, and manufacturing industries. Other key areas of interest include water supply, waste treatment, real estate, and logistics—underscoring the breadth and depth of US investment in the country.

A recent report by Vietnam’s Foreign Investment Agency highlights a surge in US investment activity. In the first four months of 2025, American firms initiated 42 new FDI projects, adjusted capital for a dozen existing ventures, and actively contributed capital or acquired shares in 44 projects. This resulted in a substantial inflow of nearly $200 million in new FDI from the U.S. into Vietnam.

Economists predict a significant breakthrough in US FDI in Vietnam, fueled by the interest of prominent American corporations like Meta, Intel, NVIDIA, and Apple. These companies are increasingly drawn to Vietnam, relocating their manufacturing and business operations to the country.

Molly Montgomery, Director of Public Policy for the US market at Meta DC, emphasized this trend during a meeting with the National Innovation Center (NIC). She highlighted Vietnam’s strategic importance to Meta, stating, “Vietnam is a key market for Meta, and its significance is growing as many manufacturing operations relocate here.”

Montgomery also commended the Vietnamese government for its efforts to enhance the investment and business environment. She underscored the importance of stable and consistent investment policies in attracting foreign investors, particularly those from the United States.

Dao Thanh Huong, Deputy Director General of the Foreign Investment Agency, concurred, noting that Vietnam has already attracted prominent US investors. “With the presence of Intel, Apple, NVIDIA, and Meta,” she said, “American businesses are testament to the credibility and stability of Vietnam’s investment landscape.”

According to the Ministry of Finance, Vietnam boasts 252 investment projects in the United States, totaling $1.36 billion. These ventures are primarily focused on professional services, scientific and technological advancements, real estate, and manufacturing industries—a testament to the mutually beneficial economic relationship between the two nations.
