Việt Nam, Thailand and Indonesia were identified in the report as Asian countries that saw strong inbound activity in 2019. South Korea is the largest source of foreign direct investment in Việt Nam, as the latter has become a production base for major Korean multinationals such as Samsung and LG. Looking ahead, the report predicts that activity will pick up again post-2020, as Việt Nam remains an attractive market.
