The four-month figure shows the FDI inflow is slowing down, says the FIA.
However, the agency notes that the average size of newly licensed projects and projects registering to adjust their capital increased by less than US$7 million a project in comparison with the same period in 2020.
In addition, the past four months saw FDI projects disburse US$5.5 billion, up 6.8% over the same period, thanks to the recovery of production and business operations.
Currently Vietnam has 33,463 valid foreign investment projects with a total registered capital of US$394.9 billion. These projects disbursed US$238.36 billion, or 60.4% of the total valid registered investment capital.
