FDI inflow into Dong Nai surges by over 68% in 4 months

(ĐN)- Dong Nai attracted nearly US$1.16 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI) in the first 4 months of 2025, up 68.5% compared to the same period last year.

This includes 41 newly licensed FDI projects with a total registered capital of US$454.3 million and 45 existing projects with additional capital of approximately US$701.3 million. In addition, hundreds of millions of dollars were poured into the province through equity contributions by foreign investors, affirming Dong Nai’s continued appeal as a top FDI destination.

According to the Ministry of Finance, Vietnam recorded US$13.82 billion in FDI in Jan-April, a year-on-year increase of 40%. Dong Nai’s growth rate outpaced the national average, and its disbursement rate also surpassed many other provinces and cities. As a result, the province ranks among the top six nationwide in FDI attraction, exports, and state budget revenue.

Most of the capital inflows are directed toward industrial sectors prioritized by the province, such as supporting industries, semiconductors, electronics, and agricultural processing. Foreign investors have indicated plans to fast-track construction and production operations immediately after receiving investment certificates, contributing to Dong Nai’s industrial output, export growth, and public revenue.

To sustain this momentum, Dong Nai is accelerating the development and expansion of new industrial zones, aiming for double-digit economic growth in 2025 and beyond. Several foreign conglomerates have expressed keen interest, noting that availability of large-scale industrial land for lease would significantly boost FDI inflows.

Beyond industry, foreign investors are also eyeing projects in urban development, tourism, services, logistics, and renewable energy. By streamlining administrative procedures and reducing project approval times, Dong Nai stands to attract substantial FDI—ranging from tens to hundreds of millions of dollars—across multiple sectors. Strategic advantages such as improving transport infrastructure, a strong industrial base, and a large population make the province an increasingly attractive investment hub.
