Viet Nam attracted nearly US$13 billion in foreign direct investment, down 22.4%.

Meanwhile, the disbursed volume was estimated at US$10.46 billion, a decrease of 4.9% against 2011.

The slowdown was due to the reduction of large-scale real estate projects and improvement of the quality of foreign direct investment inflow.

This year, FDI enterprises gained remarkable export value of over US$72 billion, up 31% against 2011./.
