Good investment environment needed to attract 41 billion USD  

According to the Dong Nai province's planning for 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050, Dong Nai will need 41 billion USD (over 1 million billion VND) to invest in various fields.

In particular, during the 2021-2025 period, 478.2 thousand billion VND is needed; during the 2026-2030 period, about 525.5 thousand billion VND is needed (an average of over 105 thousand billion VND/year). It is expected that the above capital sources will come from 20% of the state budget and 80% from domestic and foreign enterprises (FDI). With this capital for investment in various fields, Dong Nai can ensure a GRDP growth of about 10%/year. 

Some economists believe that, with the current advantages of Dong Nai, it will not be too difficult to mobilize 33-35 billion USD from domestic enterprises and FDI enterprises in the coming years.

However, Dong Nai must fully prepare the criteria required by enterprises. Specifically, the province's projects must synchronize land use planning, construction, zoning, details, etc. The procedures related to each project must be simplified, with shortened resolution times, and there must be available land for investors to implement projects quickly. If any obstacles arise during project implementation, the province and localities must address them promptly. 

According to the Dong Nai Statistics Office, in 2024, the investment capital in the province reached 133.9 thousand billion VND, with FDI capital being over 50 thousand billion VND. The plan for 2025 estimates the investment in the province to be 134 thousand billion VND. If more than 230 real estate projects and hundreds of projects in the fields of technical infrastructure, tourism, logistics, and commercial services can resolve their policy-related obstacles concerning land, planning, and construction, the investment capital could surpass the yearly plan. 

In the 2026-2030 period, when Long Thanh International Airport, Ben Luc - Long Thanh expressway, Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway, and ring roads 3 and 4 in Ho Chi Minh City are completed and put into operation, they will attract more investment capital to the province in various fields: industrial infrastructure, industry, trade services, tourism, real estate, logistics, etc. This capital flow will be a driving force to help the province develop and achieve rapid economic growth according to the plan. Along with that, average income per capita, the scale of the economy, and state budget revenue will also increase significantly. 

Flexible mechanisms and policies that resolve issues quickly not only help Dong Nai develop rapidly but also contribute to boosting the overall development of the Southeast region.
