Billions coming in, but who knows for sure?

While the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI) joyfully announced the monthly inflow of foreign direct investment (FDI) into Vietnam, the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) has nearly ‘blockaded’ all information about the Foreign Institutional Investment (FII) flow. According to statistics of the foreign bank which is managing the largest number of accounts for financial investment institutions, there are around 74 foreign investment funds pouring money into Vietnam, including 22 funds that have been established so far this year. Among new funds are Sumitomo Misui Vietnam, Fullerton Vietnam Fund, TongYang Vietnam, Maxford Growth Vietnam Focus, Vietnam Resource, Credit Agricole Fund.
