Data of the Foreign Investment Agency (FIA) under the Ministry of Planning and Investment showed the amount was channeled in 75 new projects.
Among the 25 countries and territories receiving Vietnamese investments during the period, the Netherlands took the lead with US$54.6 million, making up 37.1 per cent. It was followed by Laos (US$37.8 million), the United Kingdom (US$19.8 million), and the U.S. (US$18.6 million).
