From FDI attraction to connecting Vietnamese enterprises with global supply chains

Opening the seminar themed “Reaching out to innovative global supply chains”, Editor-in-Chief of the Finance and Investment Newspaper Pham Van Hoanh stated that the Politburo issued Resolution No. 10 on June 8, 2026 on developing the foreign-invested economy, marking a strategic shift in the Party's mindset toward utilizing international resources following nearly 40 years of pursuing Doi Moi (Renewal) process.

Accordingly, the shift has moved from attracting FDI capital to developing the foreign-invested economy; from attracting individual projects to building a high-quality FDI ecosystem; and from prioritizing capital scale and quantity to focusing on quality, efficiency, and added value for the economy. At the same time, international resources are linked with internal strengths to build new development capacities for Vietnam's economy in the new era of development.

To realize this goal, a core task set by Resolution No. 10 is vigorously developing the domestic industrial ecosystem and substantive linkages between foreign-invested enterprises and Vietnamese companies.

This is also one of the central tasks and solutions set out in Government Resolution No. 280 dated September 22, 2026, on the Government's Action Plan to implement the Politburo's Resolution No. 10.

Hoanh emphasized that after 40 years of Doi Moi, Vietnam continues to be an important destination for international investment flows. Evidence of this is that during the nine-month period of this year, total registered FDI into Vietnam reached US$ 50.36 billion, an increase of 76.4% over the same period last year, while disbursed FDI hit US$ 21.07 billion, up 12.1% over the same period, recording the highest level in the past five years.

"These figures are very positive, demonstrating the confidence of foreign investors in Vietnam, especially amidst global investment flows still slowing down due to the impacts of world geopolitical fluctuations and United States tariff policies, "he affirmed.

However, according to the Editor-in-Chief of the Finance and Investment Newspaper, with the Politburo's Resolution No. 10 and the Government's Resolution No. 280, the current requirement is not only to attract more capital but also to improve the quality of capital flows, aiming for high technology, green technology, modern management, and increased connectivity with domestic enterprises.

To actualize this goal, the coordination and joint efforts of the domestic and foreign business communities and investors are required, based on a synchronized, open, attractive, effective institutional and policy foundation.

The event was organized to convey the opinions of enterprises and local authorities in carrying out these resolutions in an effort to turn international resources into Vietnam's internal capacity through technology transfer, human resource training, and a developing ecosystem of linkages between foreign-invested and domestic enterprises.

The seminar also discussed international and domestic experience in promoting internal and external linkages, the role of financial institutions in boosting Vietnam's deeper engagement in the global supply chain, and policy drivers needed to enhance spillover effects between the domestic and foreign-invested economic sectors.
