Key contents of Resolution No. 10-NQ/TW

On June 8, 2026, the Politburo issued Resolution No. 10-NQ/TW on the development of the foreign-invested economy, opening a new phase in thinking and orientation for attracting, managing, and effectively utilizing international resources. Not only does it inherit the achievements of nearly 40 years of attracting foreign investment, but the Resolution also marks a significant shift from the mindset of "attracting capital" to "developing the foreign-invested economy," considering this sector as an organic part of the economy, contributing to building an independent and self-reliant economy linked to deep international integration.
Resolution No. 10-NQ/TW: A Strategic Shift in the Development of the Foreign-Invested Economy
From the Achievements of Nearly 40 Years of Renovation to New Development Requirements
In nearly four decades of implementing the renovation policy, the Party's policy of opening up and attracting foreign investment has yielded tremendous results. Vietnam has attracted over US$549 billion in registered capital with more than 46,000 active projects, becoming an attractive destination for international investors. The foreign-invested sector has made significant contributions to economic growth, promoting industrialization and modernization, expanding exports, creating jobs, improving corporate governance, and strengthening Vietnam's position internationally.
However, practice also reveals certain limitations in the current development model. The quality and spillover effects of some FDI projects remain low; linkages between foreign-invested enterprises and domestic enterprises are not strong; and technology transfer, development of supporting industries, and innovation have not kept pace with potential. Meanwhile, the global landscape is rapidly changing under the impact of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the development of artificial intelligence, digital transformation, green transformation, and the restructuring of global supply chains and capital flows.
In response to these new demands, the Politburo issued Resolution No. 10-NQ/TW to orient the development of the foreign-invested economy towards higher quality, efficiency, and sustainability. This is not only an adjustment in investment attraction policies but also a new development in the Party's strategic thinking regarding the foreign-invested economic sector.

Six Major Transformations in Development Thinking
A highlight of the Resolution is the establishment of six major transformations in development thinking.
First, a shift from a mindset focused on attracting foreign investment to one focused on developing an economy with foreign investment. Accordingly, this sector is viewed more comprehensively, encompassing direct investment, indirect investment, capital markets, and international financial institutions, developing harmoniously with the domestic economy.
Second, a shift from prioritizing capital scale to focusing on quality, efficiency, and added value. The goal is no longer to attract many projects, but to select projects with advanced technology, modern management, innovation, and strong spillover effects on the economy.
Third, a shift from input-based incentives to results-based incentives, linking support policies with commitments to technology transfer, research and development, human resource training, sustainable development, and linkages with domestic businesses.
Fourth, shift from developing individual FDI to developing a synchronized ecosystem of international capital flows, connecting direct investment, indirect investment, capital markets, international financial centers, free trade zones, and new development spaces.
Fifth, shift from investment management to creating an investment environment, in which the State focuses on improving institutions, developing infrastructure, human resources, and the innovation ecosystem to create favorable conditions for all resources to develop.
Sixth, shift from competition to attract investment among localities to coordinating development at the national level, strengthening regional linkages, and promoting the role of growth poles, financial centers, and innovation centers.
These transformations demonstrate a determination to elevate the quality of development, using efficiency, technology, and spillover effects as metrics instead of just evaluating by capital scale or the number of projects.

Goals for 2030 and Vision for 2045
The Resolution sets the goal for 2030 to make Vietnam a leading competitive destination for attracting high-quality medium and long-term foreign direct investment (FDI).
Accordingly, Vietnam strives to attract 200-300 billion USD in registered FDI, of which 150-200 billion USD will be implemented; approximately 70-75% of newly registered capital will come from developed economies; and over 50% of investment will be concentrated in high-tech, innovation, and digital transformation sectors. Simultaneously, approximately 10,000 Vietnamese enterprises will participate in the supply chains of foreign-invested enterprises. The stock market is to be upgraded to emerging market status before 2030.
The vision for 2045 is for Vietnam to become a leading destination for high-quality international capital flows, a regional center for production, services, innovation, and management for many multinational corporations. The foreign-invested economic sector will contribute approximately 30% of GDP and account for about 25% of total social investment, contributing to enhancing Vietnam's position in the global value chain.
Seven key tasks and solutions
To realize the above goals, the Resolution outlines seven breakthrough tasks and solutions.
First, it involves reforming perceptions and unifying thinking throughout the political system regarding the development of the foreign-invested economy, shifting strongly from a management mindset to a development-oriented mindset.
Next, it involves perfecting institutions and building a transparent, stable, and internationally competitive investment environment; The resolution calls for reforming incentive policies to align with the effectiveness of investors' commitments.
It also emphasizes the need for the synchronized development of high-quality human resources and modern infrastructure, especially in transportation, logistics, energy, digital infrastructure, and data.
Another important task is to orient the attraction of new-generation investments into fields such as artificial intelligence, semiconductors, research and development, innovation, digital transformation, green transformation, and high value-added industries.
Simultaneously, it aims to enhance the spillover effects of FDI through promoting linkages with domestic businesses, developing supporting industries, innovation ecosystems, and the circular economy.
The resolution also sets the goal of synchronously developing foreign indirect investment, capital markets, and international financial centers to diversify resource mobilization channels.
Finally, it aims to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of state management. Strengthen coordination at the national level; accelerate digital transformation in investment management and enhance forecasting and monitoring capabilities.

Creating New Momentum for Sustainable Growth
It can be affirmed that Resolution No. 10-NQ/TW is not only a new orientation for attracting foreign investment but also a strategy for developing the economy in the context of increasingly deep international integration. The overarching spirit of the Resolution is to shift from the goal of attracting a large amount of capital to effectively utilizing international capital flows to create new development capabilities in conjunction with the country's internal strengths.
The effective implementation of the Resolution will contribute to improving the quality of growth, promoting innovation, developing science and technology, strengthening linkages between domestic and foreign-invested enterprises, thereby enhancing the competitiveness and self-reliance of the economy.
In the context of increasingly fierce global competition, Resolution No. 10-NQ/TW is expected to create a foundation for Vietnam to effectively attract high-quality investment flows, take advantage of opportunities from the shift in international supply chains, promote rapid and sustainable growth, and realize the goal of making the country prosperous and powerful by 2045.
