789 new enterprises established in Dong Nai in Jan

With open investment attraction policies and well-prepared land resources alongside synchronized infrastructure, Dong Nai continued to draw strong capital inflows in the first month of the year.

From the beginning of the year to January 20, total domestic investment capital both inside and outside industrial parks (IPs) and economic zones across the province reached approximately 10.9 trillion VND, fulfilling 6.8% of the 2026 annual plan. This included three newly licensed projects outside IPs with a total registered capital of more than 10.7 trillion VND, and two new projects inside IPs with a combined registered capital of 195 billion VND. In this period, Dong Nai also attracted over 177 million USD in foreign direct investment (FDI).

In January, total newly registered and additional capital estimated at over 12.2 trillion VND, a 44.3% surge year-on-year. Accordingly, 789 enterprises were newly established, up nearly 93% year-on-year, with total registered capital of around 5.5 trillion VND. Additionally, 132 enterprises registered capital increases totaling approximately 6.7 trillion VND.

During the same period, 272 branches, business locations and representative offices were newly registered across the province. Moreover, 508 enterprises resumed operations, up 16.7%, along with 126 branches, business locations and representative offices returning to normal operation.

However, January also saw 150 enterprises dissolved, a year-on-year rise of 66.6%, while 1,274 others temporarily suspended operations, down slightly by 0.4% compared to the same period last year. The main reasons were prolonged business losses, capital shortages and rising input material costs, which undermined competitiveness, particularly among small and medium-sized enterprises in the private sector with limited governance capacity and management experience.
