In the first two months of 2026, the economy of the central province of Nghe An showed several "bright spots," most notably a surge in total newly registered and adjusted investment capital.
This data was released during the Nghe An Provincial People’s Committee's regular meeting on February 27, where officials evaluated the socio-economic performance for February and outlined tasks for the upcoming period.
Official reports indicate that as of February 23, the province had approved investment policies or granted investment registration certificates to 10 new projects and capital adjustments to 26 others. The total registered and additional capital reached over VND64.34 trillion (over $2.51 billion).
A major highlight of this period was the provincial approval of both the investment policy and the designated investor for the Quynh Lap LNG Thermal Power Plant. With a total investment of VND59.372 trillion VND (approx. $2.3 billion), this is the largest project ever recorded in the province. It is expected to create significant momentum for the local energy industry and attract a wave of auxiliary projects.
In addition to large-scale investments, the province’s business showed strong growth, with 816 enterprises newly established in the first two months—a 68.2% increase compared to the same period last year.
