  "account": "According to the Foreign Investment Agency, Vietnam's foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows reached a record high of $54.85 billion in the first ten months of 2026, marking a 74% increase year-over-year and the highest level since 2009. This surpasses the previous peak of $29.11 billion in 2019. The figure is driven by newly registered projects, additional capital injections, and foreign investors' capital contributions and share purchases. Manufacturing and processing attracted the most newly registered capital, accounting for 47.5% of the total. Singapore led the pack as the largest source of newly registered FDI, followed by South Korea, Luxembourg, Hong Kong, China, Japan, and the Netherlands. Realised FDI also climbed to $24.08 billion, up 13.1% year-over-year, with manufacturing and processing accounting for 82.9% of the total. The trend of higher investment is expected to bolster production capacities and fuel economic growth.",
  "summary": "Alongside registered capital disbursed foreign direct investment FDI also reached a record high of 24 08 billion up 13 1 per cent on year and the highest 10 month figure in the past five years",
