Top 4 largest economic centers in Vietnam
The new Dong Nai province will be one of the four largest economic centers in Vietnam, after Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi and Hai Phong. Therefore, the province will be an area with highly developed industry, urban areas, agriculture , trade services, logistics, etc. This is also the top region in the country in attracting foreign direct investment, domestic investment, exports, and state budget revenue.
With a natural area of over 12,737 km2, a population of over 4.4 million people and being a gateway to many regions, Dong Nai has more room for socio-economic development in the coming years. In particular, when Long Thanh International Airport, Bien Hoa - Vung Tau Expressway, Ben Luc - Long Thanh Expressway, Dau Giay - Lien Khuong Expressway, Ring Road 3 - Ho Chi Minh City, Ring Road 4, etc. are completed and put into operation, it will create new breakthroughs in economic development.
According to experts in the Dong Nai Socio-Economic Advisory Group, the new Dong Nai province should quickly complete the paperwork procedures to soon receive approval from the Central Government for the Free Trade Zone and build urban railway lines connecting the province with Long Thanh International Airport and Ho Chi Minh City.
Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Vo Tan Duc said that the scale of Dong Nai's economy after the merger is expected to be more than 676.7 trillion VND (equivalent to 26 billion USD). The new Dong Nai will be one of the two largest economic centers in the South, a traffic gateway connecting regions, the "capital" of industry and agriculture of the whole country. Therefore, the new Dong Nai will become an important economic corridor axis, a diverse traffic network including: aviation, road, railway, waterway. With more than 50 established industrial parks, Long Thanh International Airport will be put into operation in 2026, Phuoc An port has been put into operation, helping the new Dong Nai become a major center for production of goods, services, logistics, and exports of the country. Regarding agriculture, the new Dong Nai will become the province with the largest livestock industry in Vietnam. The province has many areas specializing in growing leading industrial crops and fruit trees in the country.
The new Dong Nai province will open up space for economic development. If resources are well mobilized to invest in technical infrastructure and other fields, economic growth can reach double digits in the coming years.
Dr. Mai Chiem Hieu, Deputy Head of the Department of Political Economy, Regional Political Academy II (Ho Chi Minh City) assessed that the merger of Dong Nai and Binh Phuoc provinces will open up space for better socio-economic development. The new Dong Nai province has Long Thanh International Airport, the largest in Vietnam, Phuoc An port and is a traffic gateway connecting to the Central Highlands, Southwest and South Central regions. With the above advantages, the new Dong Nai has a lot of potential for economic development, achieving the target of double-digit growth in the coming years.
Opening up space to accelerate growth
According to the Provincial Planning for the period 2021-2030 approved by the Government, by 2030, Dong Nai will have 63 industrial parks, with an area of about 38 thousand hectares. Currently, Dong Nai has only 50 established industrial parks, of which 45 are in operation. The province's industrial parks have attracted more than 2 thousand foreign direct investment projects, with a total capital of nearly 41.5 billion USD.
Previously, Dong Nai faced difficulties in lacking large industrial land areas for domestic and foreign investors to lease to build factories, but now this difficulty has been resolved. Dong Nai province can reshape the attraction of industrial development, especially the processing industry will be linked to raw material production areas.
Dr. Tran Du Lich, member of the National Monetary Policy Advisory Council, member of the Dong Nai Province Socio-Economic Advisory Group, said that after the merger, the new Dong Nai province will have a very favorable development space because it has an airport, seaport, and border. This will be an advantage for the province to develop logistics, trade and services. However, the new Dong Nai needs to quickly adjust the provincial planning to implement projects in each field. The province should prioritize resources to invest in transport infrastructure connecting Bien Hoa - Dong Xoai with the airport and seaport to exploit the potential of industry, agriculture, processing, tourism development, etc.
Associations and businesses also expect that the new Dong Nai province with a two-tier local government will create many opportunities for expanding production and business and implementing projects. It is expected that in the coming time, capital from domestic and foreign enterprises investing in the province in various fields will increase, contributing to achieving the double-digit economic growth target.
According to Mr. Dang Van Diem, Chairman of Dong Nai Business Federation, Dong Nai province has a lot of room for businesses to participate in projects in the fields of industry, agriculture, real estate, trade services, logistics, technical infrastructure, tourism, etc. The federation will act as a bridge with the government to support businesses in promptly removing difficulties and obstacles to develop production and business. In addition, the federation will coordinate with departments and branches to implement trade promotion campaigns to connect businesses and expand product consumption markets.
