The amount of new FDI that arrived here during the period reached a record high of $9.77 billion, up 50.1 percent from a year earlier.
In the nine-month period, new FDI pledges from China skyrocketed 230.4 percent on-year to $1.03 billion, with the combined total from all Chinese-speaking countries, including Hong Kong and Taiwan, soaring 89.8 percent to $3.01 billion.
New FDI pledges from the European Union spiked 84.1 percent on-year to $5.93 billion, and those from the United States climbed 6.4 percent to $2.86 billion.
