VTV.vn - Vietnam ranks first of 14 countries in the Emerging Market (EM) index, attracting the most FDI for the second time, according to the annual study from US magazine Finacial Times.

Vietnam scored 6.45 in the index, almost 6.5 times above its economic weight, far ahead of Hungary and Romania, and its regional competitors Malaysia and Thailand. The latest UN Conference on Trade and Development confirmed the attractiveness of Asian countries, especially Vietnam, Myanmar and India. Processing and real estate are Vietnam’s two most attractive sectors for foreign investors. Healthcare also attracts more foreign investment due to changes in investment regulations for the sector.
