During the six months, the province licensed 33 new FDI projects, with a total registered capital of 108 million USD and approved the investment expansion of 44 projects, with a total supplemented capital of over 514 million USD.
Despite double foreign investment in the first six months of this year, all projects are small-scale projects.
Almost all new FDI projects rent factories to operate in the areas of mechanical engineering, food, energy, and others, which are not on the list of environmental pollution and labour-intensive industries.
According to the provincial Department of Planning and Investment, the remaining industrial land available for lease in the province is very small, making it impossible for the province to attract large FDI projects.
The province is making efforts to speed up land clearance in industrial parks and complete the procedures for establishing eight new industrial parks, according to the planning approved by the Prime Minister.
Dong Nai Province now has 1,585 valid FDI projects, with a total capital of 33.8 billion USD, being one of the leading localities in the country, in terms of FDI attraction.
