Dong Nai’s GRDP grows 8.34% in six months

(DN) – Despite administrative restructuring, Dong Nai’s economy posted strong growth in the first half of 2025. Accordingly, the province’s gross regional domestic product (GRDP) rose by 7.37% in the first quarter and 9.26% in the second quarter, bringing the average 6-month growth to 8.34%. This figure outpaced the national average of 7.31% and was significantly higher than Dong Nai’s 6.8% growth during the same period last year.

Among 17 provinces and cities assigned a 2025 GRDP growth target of over 10%, Dong Nai currently ranks fifth. Total import-export turnover reached over US$22.5 billion, up 16.6% year-on-year, with exports rising 17.7%, accounting for around 6% of the national total. The province also attracted US$1.2 billion in newly registered and additional FDI, a 48% rise, with a focus on high-tech sectors such as electronics, semiconductors, and precision engineering.

“To reach the 10% growth goal, the entire political system needs to race against time and seize every development opportunity,” emphasized Vo Tan Duc, Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee.

Several major infrastructure projects—such as the Bien Hoa–Vung Tau expressway, Ring Road 3 (HCMC), and the relocation of Bien Hoa 1 Industrial Park—have gained momentum following successful land clearance efforts.

As of June 30, Dong Nai had disbursed VND 5.127 trillion in public investment, fulfilling 32.5% of its annual target and ranking among the top three provinces and cities nationwide.

Local authorities are determined to accelerate key transport, residential, and industrial development projects to help realize the province’s goal of double-digit growth by the end of 2025.
