Vietnam’s real estate market continues to demonstrate strong appeal to foreign investors in the first half of 2026, despite facing numerous challenges from the global macroeconomic environment. According to statistics from the General Statistics Office, total registered FDI capital into Vietnam in the first six months of the year reached approximately $34.65 billion, up 61 percent year over year, with manufacturing and processing sectors receiving the largest proportion, 82.6 percent, with implications for commercial real estate.

Notably, disbursed FDI in the first six months is estimated at approximately $13 billion, up 11.2 percent year over year — the highest disbursement level in the first six-month period over the past five years.
