Eleven FDI projects registered more capital of over 60 million USD. There were six new projects with a total capital of 5.48 million USD, a 74 percent decrease from last year.

The zones received 1.1 trillion VND (47 million USD) worth of domestic investment, up by 37 percent year-on-year. There were 13 new projects, while 12 projects increased their capital.

The increase in investment in the zones was mainly from domestic sources and foreign projects that already had plans to register more capital, according to the authority, which said that investment attraction in the second quarter may face challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

HCM City, as of March 20, had attracted over 1 billion USD worth of FDI, a 33 percent drop year-on-year, according to the HCM City Statistics Office.
