Vietnam International Political Economy

Vietnam foreign direct investment (FDI) is estimated to drop between $2.5 billion and $9 billion in 2009 according to Reuters.

However, Phan Huu Thang of the Foreign Investment Agency estimates that Vietnam foreign direct investment (FDI) could drop as much as $20-25 billion in 2009.

Further estimates by the World Bank suggest FDI in Vietnam will only total $4.5 billion this year compared to the reported $64 billion last year only adding to the confusion over exact FDI number and estimates.
