The Dung Quat Economic Zone (EZ) and industrial parks (IPs) in central Quang Ngai province saw strong growth in investment attraction in the first four months of the year.

Total investment reached over $1.28 billion in the period, a ten-fold increase compared to all of 2022.

There are currently 347 investment projects at the Dung Quat EZ and IPs in the province with total capital of more than $18.55 billion, including 68 foreign-invested projects with $1.85 billion and 289 local projects.

Of the total, 249 projects have been put into operation.

The Quang Ngai Provincial People’s Committee said the priority in investment attraction will be given to traditional markets such as Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan (China), while it will also promote investment from countries with modern industry to meet its socio-economic development needs.
