Investment

By the end of August, Da Nang had attracted over $680 million in FDI, up nearly 190% year-on-year. Of this total, 100 projects were newly licensed with aggregate registered capital exceeding $520 million.

On tariffs, European Free Trade Association (EFTA) members have offered immediate liberalisation of more than 90% of tariff lines, representing 99.5% of Vietnam’s exports to the bloc.

The project is expected to improve regional connectivity, support investment attraction and create additional development momentum for Hai Phong, Hung Yen, Ninh Binh and other provinces in the Red River Delta.

The central city's GRDP growth estimated at 9-9.5% in the 9-month period.

Ho Chi Minh City is executing transit-oriented development (TOD) master plans tied to Metro Line 1, Metro Line 2, Thu Thiem Station, Binh Khanh Station, and the Ben Thanh – Can Gio rail link, with multiple focal areas slated to secure planning approvals within 2027.

The project is slated for execution from 2025 to 2029, with the preparation phase running across 2025–2026 and physical implementation scheduled from 2026 to 2029.
