Rational transition

Since the beginning of the year, the production and business situation of enterprises in Binh Duong province has seen many positive changes. Enterprises in the wood, textile, footwear, computer, electronic products and components industries are effectively utilizing the free trade agreements that Vietnam has signed to expand trade and export markets; many enterprises have export orders until the end of the first quarter of 2025. The province's industrial production index for the first 9 months of 2024 is estimated to increase by 6.31% compared to the same period in 2023.

However, according to the assessment of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the industrial sector still faces many challenges due to the general difficulties of the global economy, along with the difficulty in accessing capital for businesses. Mr. Nguyen Thanh Toan, Director of the Department of Industry and Trade, said that in order to contribute to the completion of the industrial development target in 2024, the department will continue to proactively and effectively implement the support policies for businesses that have been approved by the Government and the Provincial People's Committee to resolve difficulties and obstacles in the production and business activities of enterprises, especially for the key export industries of the province, such as textiles, footwear, and electronic components..

Binh Duong has been implementing many policies to support businesses, such as creating favorable conditions for capital, infrastructure, human resource training, and trade connectivity; organizing specialized fairs and exhibitions to facilitate businesses' access to and application of new technologies. At the same time, Binh Duong is promoting cooperation programs with partners both domestically and internationally to share experiences, transfer technology, and expand markets.

Quality projects’ high hope

Mr. Truong Van Phong, Deputy Head of the Industrial Parks Management Board of Binh Duong, said that in the first 9 months of 2024, the total investment capital for construction of businesses in the industrial parks reached 4,278 billion VND, an increase of 38.1% compared to the same period in 2023. The industrial parks have leased 53.88 hectares of land, attracting 1.045 billion US dollars of foreign investment (accounting for 87% of the total foreign investment in the province in the first 9 months). Revenue of businesses in industrial zones reached 27 billion US dollars, exports reached 18.2 billion USD (accounting for 71.1% of the province's total export value in 9 months).
