Consistent perspective on sustainable and harmonious development

(PLVN) - At the 2025 meeting with the foreign-invested enterprises (FDI) community recently organized by Ho Chi Minh City, the leaders of the City People's Committee once again affirmed that the consistent viewpoint of the locality is to always identify enterprises as the center, resource, and driving force of development. "The City government commits to protecting the legitimate rights and interests of investors; quickly, correctly, and synchronously resolving enterprises' difficulties, accompanying enterprises from ideas to final results," the leaders of the City People's Committee pledged.

The report at the Conference on investment attraction results shows that Ho Chi Minh City has been affirming its leading position in the country in attracting FDI capital. The total effective capital reached 141.215 billion USD with 19,840 projects. In the first 9 months of 2025 alone, the total newly registered and increased capital reached nearly 7.127 billion USD, an increase of 37.43% over the same period in 2024.

In the context of administrative unit arrangement and boundary expansion, Ho Chi Minh City has restructured its development space according to the "multipolar - integrated - super-connected" mindset, aiming to realize the goal of becoming an international megacity. The city will develop according to the model of "1 space - 3 regions - 1 special zone", aiming for an average GRDP growth of 10 - 11%/year in the period 2025 - 2030; promptly solving challenges related to infrastructure, traffic jams, flooding, pollution, and administrative procedures.

In terms of society, the city aims to improve the quality of life and human resources. By 2030, the average GRDP per capita is expected to reach about 14,000 - 15,000 USD. The vision by 2045 is for Ho Chi Minh City to become an international megacity, among the top 100 best cities in the world .

At the meeting, representatives of Business Associations made a number of recommendations such as further simplifying administrative procedures; having an autonomous mechanism and applying international practices to build a competitive international financial center in Ho Chi Minh City; speeding up the progress of key transport projects; promoting circular economy , renewable energy, and emission management; enhancing training of high-quality human resources; encouraging e-commerce, having a clear legal framework on cybersecurity and data security...

Although there are still some problems, in general, it must be acknowledged that in recent times, the FDI business community has contributed not only capital, technology, advanced management but also contributed to spreading the spirit of integration, innovation and development. Despite the difficult geopolitical and economic situation in the world, foreign investors still show strong confidence in the investment environment of Ho Chi Minh City, a locality that is considered dynamic, open-minded and constantly innovative.

We believe that not only in Ho Chi Minh City in particular, but also in the whole country in general, FDI enterprises will continue to expand investment associated with green transformation, innovation, knowledge economy; sharing knowledge, technology and management experience; developing corporate culture and responsibility; so that all parties benefit, and also develop harmoniously and sustainably.
