On 15 March, 2026 | On Bizline – the weekly magazine by Vietnam Today tracking Vietnam’s economic movements, the program focused on the latest updates to the amended Investment Law and how these changes are expected to enhance Vietnam’s attractiveness to foreign investors.
Mr. Michael Wekezer, Board Member of the German Business Association (GBA) shared valuable insights from the perspective of international, particularly German, businesses operating in Vietnam. During the interview, he emphasized that Vietnam has already proven itself to be a highly attractive destination for German investors. With its strong economic fundamentals, strategic location, and increasingly skilled workforce, the country continues to stand out in Southeast Asia’s competitive investment landscape.

He noted that continued reforms aimed at improving transparency, streamlining administrative procedures, and supporting innovation will further reinforce Vietnam’s position as a key regional investment hub. In particular, the amended Investment Law is expected to accelerate the mobilization and deployment of capital into Vietnam. Faster capital inflows will help increase the overall speed of project implementation and business establishment. In addition, the new framework is set to shorten the timeline for obtaining relevant licenses and approvals, addressing one of the key concerns of foreign investors. This improvement not only enhances operational efficiency but also builds greater confidence among the international business community.
A notable highlight of the amended law is its clear orientation toward fostering investment in technology-driven and green sectors. Alongside this, Mr. Michael pointed out the importance of expanding the “green lane” mechanism – a progressive approach already introduced in the revised Investment Law which facilitates faster and more efficient processing for qualified projects.
These developments mark a significant step forward in Vietnam’s ongoing efforts to modernize its investment environment. As the country continues to align its regulatory framework with global standards, it is well-positioned to enter a new cycle of sustainable, high-quality growth and remain a top destination for foreign investment in the years ahead.
