Termination of FDI Investment Projects in Vietnam: Legal Perspectives and Key Steps Introduction

Over the past years, Vietnam has attracted substantial foreign investment thanks to its stable business environment and competitive costs. However, in practice, not all projects achieve their expected outcomes. In such cases, foreign-invested enterprises (FDI) may need to consider exiting the market by terminating their investment projects.

If not handled properly, the process may be prolonged or expose the enterprise to unforeseen legal risks.
