The Covid-19 outbreak caused great disruptions to the Vietnam real estate market in the year 2020 to 2021. However, production and business activities have since gradually regained growth momentum, and the Government's policy to push socio-economic recovery and development has shown positive effects since the beginning of this year. In the first 9 months of 2022, Vietnam attracted about US$15.4 billion in foreign investment, up 16.2% over the same period last year. Real estate investment continues to rank second among sectors attracting the most foreign direct investment with over US$3.5 billion received, accounting for 18,7% of the total amount of investment. GDP in the first nine months of 2022 increased by 8.83% over the same period last year, the highest growth in the past decade. This shows that Vietnam is still among the markets with great potential for investment in the Asia Pacific region.

The lifting of Covid-19 related restrictions has been carefully made in most cities in Vietnam to resume their economic growth from October 2021 onwards.
