Commenting on the situation of foreign investment in the first 9 months of 2021, the Foreign Investment Agency said that the Covid-19 pandemic is still complicated, and the sharp decline in global foreign investment capital flows also affects foreign investment flows into Vietnam.
At the same time, Vietnam's selective investment attraction policy (reducing quantity, increasing quality) also eliminates small-scale projects with little added value. The restrictions on entry and the long-term isolation policy have slowed the delegations of experts and project development teams into Vietnam to survey and carry out investment procedures.
In addition, the lockdowns of factories and restrictions on the movement of workers in industrial zones, which stagnate production, reduce capacity and output, and disrupt the supply chain, also contribute to affecting the psychology of investors who are planning to invest in Vietnam.
