Specifically, as of May 20, the total registered foreign investment capital in Vietnam, including newly registered capital, adjusted registered capital and capital contribution and share purchase value of foreign investors, reached nearly 10.86 billion USD, down 7.3% over the same period last year. Of which, the real estate business ranked third with a total registered capital of nearly 1.16 billion USD, accounting for nearly 11% of the total registered investment capital, down 61% over the same period last year (nearly 3 billion USD).
Previously, according to statistics from the Vietnam Real Estate Brokers Association, 30% - 50% of trading floors had to close or temporarily suspend operations in the first 3 months of the year. The reason given was due to competition between brokerage units during the period when the market supply with products that meet the needs of real buyers decreased. Meanwhile, market liquidity remained frozen, causing sales to not improve.
