The conference aimed to discuss, share experiences and propose solutions to promote capital mobilisation through the investment fund system and the foreign investment sector, contributing to economic development.
Speaking at the conference, Finance Minister Nguyen Van Thang emphasised that after nearly 40 years of renewal, Vietnam has achieved many great achievements in socio-economic development with a consistent policy of promoting socialisation, diversifying resources for development investment, and effectively attracting both domestic and international capital sources.
2024 marked a successful year for the economy and capital market with total mobilised capital of nearly 930 trillion VND, 1.3 times higher than the previous year, equivalent to 25% of total social investment capital. In 2024, the capitalisation scale of the stock market reached 62.5%.
Along with the growth of indirect investment capital, the total realised foreign direct investment in 2024 reached 25.4 billion USD, an increase of 9.4% over the previous year, reaching the highest level to date.
These results have contributed positively to GDP growth of 7.09%, bringing the scale of Vietnam's economy to 476.3 billion USD, ranking 33rd in the world.
At the conference, delegates focused on assessing the current situation, sharing experiences and proposing solutions to attract resources for economic development through investment funds and foreign investment.
The multi-dimensional consultations and contributions of delegates clarified bottlenecks and proposed solutions to encourage investment funds, foreign investors, financial institutions, and foreign direct investment enterprises to actively participate in investment in Vietnam, thereby, helping management agencies proactively have policy solutions to enhance the competitiveness of the domestic capital market, improve the investment and business environment, contributing to creating growth momentum for the economy.
