The author determines that today Vietnam mainly uses a targeted investment strategy with elements of improvisation policy. Special attention is paid to fiscal incentives to attract FDI, to the analysis of the effectiveness of «super incentives», of special economic zones. Decentralization is determined as Vietnam's investment policy feature, its advantages and disadvantages are studied. Review of the research in this area allows the author to draw conclusions about the key aspects that attract foreign investors to Vietnam and how the investment policy corresponds with goals and objectives of the country's national development.
