Record FDI capital poses challenges for Vietnam

Newly registered and additional capital reached 14.6 billion USD, up over 80% year-on-year. Experts say that the surge indicates an improvement in Vietnam's business environment. Meanwhile, investors are putting their money into Vietnam to avoid complicated fluctuations in the global economy.

High FDI capital is said to be a good sign for Vietnam's economy in the short term. However, experts say that this also leads to challenges with regards to absorbing capital, ensuring investment quality, and avoiding trade remedies from Vietnam's importers.
