Determined to create breakthrough in FDI investment attraction

On February 5, Dong Nai province held the first ceremony in 2026 to present investment registration certificates to three projects from Singapore and China. The total registered investment capital of these projects is nearly 550 million USD, licensed to operate in industrial parks (IPs) across the province.

With this first round of licensing in 2026, the province has already completed more than one third of its annual target for attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) into IPs, set at 1.5 billion USD for the whole year. This result underscores Dong Nai’s determination to create a breakthrough in FDI attraction. A highlight of this effort is the significant improvement in handling investment registration procedures. A typical example is the HAOHUA (Vietnam) Tire Manufacturing Plant project by HAOHUA Vietnam Co., Ltd. (under the HAOHUA Group, China), located in Minh Hung – Sikico IP, Tan Khai commune, Dong Nai province, which was received and approved for an investment registration certificate by Dong Nai Economic and Industrial Zones Authority in less than 24 hours.

Reviewing the achievements of 2025 at a recently-held Meeting with FDI enterprises in 2026, Member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee and Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Kim Long noted that Dong Nai recorded outstanding results in overall economic growth and development, particularly in attracting FDI. In this regard, the province achieved a remarkable milestone by attracting nearly 3.36 billion USD in FDI, far exceeding the 2025 plan of 1.9 billion USD. This brought the total accumulated FDI in Dong Nai to more than 43.5 billion USD from 51 countries and territories.

The results achieved in 2025 reflect the strong and decisive leadership and direction of the Provincial Party Committee, the People’s Council, and the People’s Committee, as well as the concerted involvement of the entire political system in implementing solutions to improve the investment environment and promptly address difficulties and obstacles faced by enterprises, especially FDI enterprises operating in the province.

In 2026, Dong Nai has set a target of attracting 3 billion USD in FDI. Beyond focusing on investment scale, the province places particular emphasis on improving investment quality. Priority will be given to projects applying modern technologies, supporting industries, semiconductor manufacturing, high-tech and green technologies, environmentally friendly solutions, and projects with high added value. These priorities align with the province’s sustainable development orientation based on science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation, thereby enhancing competitiveness and attractiveness in the new development phase.

With advantages in industrial land reserves and a convenient, diverse transport infrastructure, Dong Nai is expected to remain an attractive destination for foreign investors in the coming period, especially within industrial parks. The province currently possesses a full range of transport infrastructure, including road, inland waterway, railway, aviation, and seaport systems. This will serve as an important foundation for expanding development space and creating new growth driver for Dong Nai.
