The project "hundred million dollars", "trillion" landed in industrial parks
Since the beginning of the year alone, more than 110ha of land in industrial parks has been received for investment, increasing the total area of industrial leasing land in Long An to more than 2,610ha. At the same time, the amount of capital for industrial parks, attracted by this province in the first 6 months of 2022, increased quite impressively.

In which, the newly granted FDI investment capital increased more than 342 million USD, equivalent to rise by 30.98% compared with the capital in the same period in 202. Furthermore, the total domestic investment capital at the new level increased more than 11,580 billion VND equivalent to rise by 91.68%", Mr. Thanh added.

"Currently, if only 18 industrial parks are in operation in Long An, the occupancy rate will be 85.65%. Should there are 23 industrial parks which are eligible to receive secondary investors, the occupancy rate will be 62.24%, but for all 32 industrial parks that have been approved for investment policies or granted investment certificates, this ratio will be only 40.39%.
