AsemconnectVietnam - The high FDI disbursement so far this year is attributed to the fact that businesses have been quickly allocating funds to build factories and purchase machinery and equipment to soon put their plants into operation.

 Nearly 1.4 billion USD in foreign direct investment (FDI) was disbursed in the southern province of Dong Nai during the first 10 months of 2025, the Dong Nai Economic and Industrial Zones Authority reported on October 28.

That brought disbursements here so far to 27.4 billion USD, or 75% of the total registered investment capital.

To achieve the double-digit economic growth target, Dong Nai, a major industrial hub of Vietnam, aims to have 1.5 billion USD disbursed in 2025.

The authority attributed the high FDI disbursement so far this year to the fact that businesses have been quickly allocating funds to build factories and purchase machinery and equipment to soon put their plants into operation.

Notably, the projects granted in-principle approval and investment registration certificates at the 2024 year-end conference announcing the province’s master plan have been continuously disbursing capital throughout 2025. Among them, the Regza Vietnam electronics factory has fully disbursed its registered capital.

Over the last 10 months, more than 70 new FDI projects have become operational in Dong Nai.

Since this year's beginning, the province has seen nearly 270 new and capital-added FDI projects, totalling about 2.2 billion USD, achieving almost 120% of the 2025 target.

The new projects are mainly in semiconductor, electrical, and electronic component production, mechanical engineering, textiles, and cast metal product manufacturing. None are in environmentally harmful or labour-intensive industries, and all comply with advanced technology standards and the locality’s investment attraction policy.

The authority said that despite global economic fluctuations, FDI enterprises have demonstrated flexibility and strong adaptability. The electronics and mechanical engineering sectors continue to be key growth drivers thanks to production expansion by major corporations and stable supply chains.

Following the merger with Binh Phuoc, the new Dong Nai province is now home to 59 industrial parks covering about 22,000 ha. These zones accommodate investments from 46 countries and territories, with 1,900 projects totalling over 36.5 billion USD in registered capital. The leading investors by project count and total capital are the Republic of Korea, China, Japan, Taiwan (China), and Singapore./.
