Dong Nai economy exceeds growth target, leading the Southeast region by 2025

In the fourth quarter, GRDP increased by 10.73%, ranking fourth nationwide. Overall, Dong Nai is among the 7 localities with the highest GRDP growth rate, continuing to hold the leading position in the Southeast region. Provincial leaders and departments such as Finance, Industry and Trade, Statistics, Customs, Tax, etc. are assessed to have synchronously deployed solutions to support businesses, remove obstacles and restore production. Administrative reform and digital transformation help shorten procedures, creating conditions to attract FDI capital flows and domestic resources.

The industrial and construction sector accounts for more than 56.5% of GRDP and maintains its role as the main driving force. The fourth quarter increased by 13.57%, of which industry increased by nearly 12%. For the whole year, the sector increased by 11.52%.

The processing and manufacturing industry continues to be the “heart” of the economy with a recovery rate of 7.2% to 20.77% in key industries such as textiles, footwear, and metal production. The improved international market helps many businesses have more stable orders, while the flexible management environment from the central to local levels helps production recover quickly.

The electricity production and distribution industry increased by 19.29%, the highest increase ever, thanks to Nhon Trach 3 and 4 Power Plants coming into operation from the third quarter of 2025, adding a large supply to the national power system.

Construction increased by 21.69%, mainly due to strategic infrastructure projects that are entering the acceleration phase. Long Thanh Airport, scheduled to open on December 19, 2025, is expected to become the largest airport in Southeast Asia, with a capacity of 100 million passengers per year.

Phuoc An Port officially operates, becoming the region's logistics gateway, directly connecting to Ho Chi Minh City and the neighboring seaport system. The appearance of the new port helps reduce road transport, leading to the demand for logistics services and attracting investment in neighboring industrial zones. Many other key transport projects are also being urgently implemented, expanding growth potential in the coming period.

The service sector grew by 10.57% in the fourth quarter and 9.39% for the whole year. People's income improved, boosting retail consumption, food and beverage, entertainment, and transportation - accommodation. The holiday season and Tet at the end of the year continued to create great demand.

Logistics, information technology and some export-related service sectors increased thanks to the recovery of the international market. Policies to stimulate consumption and support small and medium enterprises helped this sector maintain stable growth. Reform of administrative procedures also helped service activities operate more effectively.

The agriculture, forestry and fishery sector grew by 1.49% in the fourth quarter and 3.22% for the whole year, the lowest among the three sectors. Livestock production faced difficulties due to costs and diseases, while agricultural land area was reduced by urbanization and industrial development. However, this sector still plays an important role in stabilizing food supply and social security.

GRDP exceeding the target, industry - construction growing strongly, services recovering and strategic infrastructure completed are making Dong Nai become one of the most stable growth poles in the country. The investment environment has been improved, administrative reform continues to expand the space to attract capital, and the dynamic business community is creating the foundation for a new development phase: fast, sustainable and more competitive growth in the region.
