According to the Foreign Investment Agency under the Ministry of Planning and Investment, by March 2023, Australian investors had 593 ongoing projects in Vietnam with total registered capital of US$1.99 billion, accounting for 0.4 percent of total foreign direct investment (FDI) in Vietnam and ranking 20th among 143 countries and territories investing in Vietnam.

Vu Van Chung, Deputy Director of the Foreign Investment Agency, said FDI plays an important role in the Vietnamese economy. To attract foreign investment in general, and Australian FDI in particular, Vietnam continues implementing synchronous measures to maintain macroeconomic stability and accelerate public investment disbursement, while furthering institutional reforms and improving the investment and business environment.

According to Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Thi Bich Ngoc, Vietnam is implementing its national green growth strategy, restructuring the economy along with renovating the growth model, protecting the environment and ensuring social equality. Vietnam encourages and prioritizes quality FDI projects, especially in the fields of high technology, creative innovation, green and renewable energy, finance and banking, health, human resource training, infrastructure, and pharmaceuticals. Ngoc believes the potential of Vietnam-Australia cooperation is great.

Australian FDI in Vietnam is concentrated in the processing and manufacturing industries, accommodations and catering services, agriculture, forestry and fishery.
