Dong Nai accompanies businesses to promote sustainable development

(ĐN)- Dong Nai currently has over 56,000 registered enterprises on the National Business Registration Information System, with a total registered capital of nearly VND550 trillion. Each year, more than 4,000 new businesses enter the provincial economy, with the private sector playing an increasingly critical role in driving growth and contributing to the local budget.

To achieve its goal of double-digit economic growth and long-term development, the province identifies enterprises as a core driving force. Close collaboration between the government and the business community is seen as essential to realizing this goal.

According to the provincial Statistics Office, in the first quarter of 2025, businesses and individual traders invested nearly VND 11 trillion in production and business activities, up 13.7% year-on-year. The private sector accounted for about 44–47% of total implemented investment, significantly contributing to growth, job creation, improved living standards, and social welfare.

Chairman Dang Van Diem of Dong Nai Business Federation, noted that businesses are seeking easier access to land, green credit sources, and supply chain networks. They also hope for continued corporate income tax reductions (3–5 years) and preferential loan packages to boost production and exports. The Federation pledges to serve as a key policy bridge between the provincial government and the business community.

Chairman Nguyen Tuan Mui of Saigon Transport Group emphasized that administrative reform is crucial to effective business operations. Despite having subsidiaries nationwide, his company chose Dong Nai as its headquarters due to the province’s development potential and government support. He called for greater transparency and efficiency in administrative procedures to facilitate business growth and contribution to the province.

Chairman of the Dong Nai provincial People’s Committee Vo Tan Duc affirmed that the province continues to prioritize improving the investment environment. Annual meetings with domestic and foreign businesses, cooperatives, and investors are held to address obstacles and gather feedback to refine provincial policies and processes. Alongside provincial-level dialogues, various departments and localities also organize thematic meetings to tackle sector-specific challenges and share investment orientation updates.

In early 2025, the province established the Dong Nai Business Support and Economic Development Steering Committee. The committee is tasked with advising the provincial government on strategies and solutions to support enterprises, cooperatives, and investors while identifying priority areas for development aligned with provincial plans.

Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Duong Minh Dung stressed that Dong Nai values the role of the private sector and encourages business associations to serve as effective extensions of the local government. Strengthening dialogue and partnership with enterprises is considered a regular and essential mission to resolve challenges, support development, and enhance the province’s competitiveness on the path to sustainable growth.
