HCM City to hold dialogue with US, European and Japanese businesses

According to the city’s plan, meetings with European businesses (EuroCham) are set for November 6, with American businesses (AmCham) on November 26, and with Japanese firms (JCCH) on December 12.

The Investment and Trade Promotion Center of HCMC (ITPC) has been assigned to prepare implementation plans, coordinate with relevant departments, and collect questions and proposals from enterprises for discussion at the dialogues.

Municipal leaders’ regular exchanges with foreign business communities demonstrate the southern city’s willingness to listen and its commitment to accompany investors, thus strengthening confidence in the city’s business environment.

Following the recent administrative merger, the city has received numerous investment proposals from foreign corporations, many of which plan to expand their existing projects.

Over the past nine months,  it attracted US$7.73 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI), 3.5 times higher than the same period last year, including over US$2 billion in high-tech projects. For the full year, FDI is projected to reach US$10.4 billion, and may rise to around US$11.5 billion in 2026, up 10–11% year-on-year, according to the HCM City Department of Finance.
