For the first time in 30 years, southern Dong Nai province has lost its place in the top 5 localities regarding domestic investment and FDI. In the first eight months of the year, domestic investment and FDI in the province equaled just 6.93 per cent and 68 per cent, respectively, of the figures in same period last year. Reasons include bottlenecks in regulations and a limited land fund, resulting in investors moving to other localities.
