FX.co ★ Vietnam’s January FDI Inflows Cool Sharply After 2025 Surge

Vietnam’s foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows eased in January 2026 after closing 2025 at a markedly higher level, according to the latest official data updated on 6 February 2026.

FDI reached USD 1.68 billion in January 2026, following a previous reading of USD 27.62 billion recorded in December 2025. While the December figure reflects the cumulative scale of investment commitments over the year, the January number underscores the typical slowdown in new inflows at the start of the calendar year.

The fresh data will be closely watched by investors and policymakers as a gauge of how resilient Vietnam’s appeal remains amid shifting global supply chains and investment realignments in 2026.
