 Abstract:

This article is based on data of annual enterprise surveys and surveys on the use of technology in production by manufacturing enterprises to analyze the relationship between the scale of foreign direct investment capital and the performance of FDI enterprises in Vietnam during 2008-2019. The authors analyze data from 6200 FDI enterprises in the 2008-2019 period. Stata 14.0 and SPSS 20.0 software are used to process data. Statistical analysis shows that Vietnam's policies on attracting and using FDI capital need to focus on attracting high-invested projects, especially in services with high-tech knowledge and copper content. At the same time, there are measures to reduce the number of small-scale FDI projects investing in low-content market service industries or low-tech manufacturing industries. The results show that the trend of small FDI projects investing in Vietnam creates risks to the development of the FDI enterprises sector as well as in the implementation of Vietnam's sustainable development strategy during the period next time.
