Vietnam's Foreign Direct Investment:
Vietnam was predicted to have a total of $28 billion in FDI this year and have already surpassed that number recently reaching a total of $28.24 billion and there are speculations that they might be able to reach a total of nearly $30 billion by the years end. Roughly $16 billion of this capital is newly registered-capital and about $5 billion has come from M&A activities (mergers and acquisitions). This is a good example of how FDI can work in a countries favor, although much of Vietnam's investments have been a result of M&A activities it is still bringing more money into the country than without these investments. There are many examples of FDI working out exactly as everyone would hope and being profitable and positive for all parties involved but unfortunately when it comes to Foxconn as a company they seem to have a hit and miss track record when it comes to following through with their contracts and promises.

Has Vietnam invested in Wisconsin at all? What sort of trade exists between Wisconsin and Vietnam? Not surprisingly perhaps, the big investors in the state are Switzerland, Sweden, Germany, France and of course, Canada. What businesses in the state are owned or co-owned by these nations?
