The Government of Vietnam is seeking to attract international capital to finance an estimated USD1.5 trillion in infrastructure investment over the next decade as it accelerates efforts to achieve high-income economy status by 2045. The initiative comes as domestic funding sources, particularly the country’s banking sector, are expected to be insufficient to meet the scale of planned infrastructure investment.
The government’s financing strategy is expected to focus on mobilising overseas institutional investors and expanding access to international capital markets to support long-term infrastructure development. The effort is linked to Vietnam’s broader plans to establish an International Financial Centre, which is intended to strengthen the country’s position as a regional financial hub and facilitate greater foreign investment.
Vietnam has significantly increased investment in transport, energy and urban infrastructure in recent years to support rapid economic growth and industrial development. The country’s long-term infrastructure programme is expected to play a key role in improving connectivity, attracting foreign direct investment and enhancing economic competitiveness as Vietnam works towards its 2045 development goals.
