Dong Nai’s economy grows 8.23% in H1

(ĐN)- Dong Nai recorded an economic growth rate of 8.23% in the first half of 2025, ranking 13th out of 34 provinces and cities nationwide. This is nearly 1% higher than the national average. With a GDP of around US$26 billion, Vietnam’s fourth-largest, Dong Nai continues to make a strong contribution to the country’s overall economic performance.

Following its merger with Binh Phuoc, the new Dong Nai province targets to grow at 10% in 2025. To achieve this, local authorities are focusing on public investment disbursement, mobilizing development resources, removing project bottlenecks, promoting investment and trade, and accelerating administrative reform and digital transformation.

Greater decentralization has empowered local governments to handle tasks such as land use certification, land clearance, and annual land-use planning, facilitating faster project implementation. Businesses are calling for clearer guidelines to speed up procedures at local levels and unlock stalled projects, which would boost economic output and state revenue.

Dong Nai currently hosts numerous major domestic and foreign investment projects. Simplifying regulatory processes on land, planning, and construction is seen as key to accelerating capital disbursement and supporting the province’s economic momentum.
