Viet Nam is emerging as a leading destination for foreign direct investment (FDI) in Southeast Asia, thanks to its dynamic young workforce, advantageous trade agreements, and stable political environment, according to an analysis published by thailandbusinessnews.com on August 18.

Amid global economic uncertainty, Viet Nam is recognised as an attractive destination for foreign investment, buoyed by macroeconomic stability, bold reforms, and a business-friendly climate, heard at the Techcombank Investment Summit in Ha Noi on July 9.

The Vietnam Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation (VSDC) has announced that in June, 187 more foreign investors were granted securities trading codes.

Vietnam advocates switching from attracting FDI to cooperating with foreign investors in the spirit of equality for mutual benefits and development, with priority given to hi-tech and eco-friendly projects, said President Nguyen Xuan Phuc at a high-level seminar with the US-APEC Business Alliance for Competitive SMEs in Bangkok on November 17.
