| Abstract | Dong Nai located in the key economic region in the South of Vietnam, was the first
province to build industrial zones and became the top three localities in attracting Direct
Foreign Investment in Vietnam.
To look back on the past 25 years, the foreign-invested sector has increasingly expanded,
created great motive to acquire technology and changed the economic structure. It has not
only reallocated employment under the trend of international economic integration, but
also helped to transform the economic structure under the trend of industrialization and
modernization. In fact, it has contributed to the increase of the economic competition
through improving PCI Index and become a more and more important part of the national
economy.
The achievements of FDI in Dong Nai province are quite clear and obvious, also the motto
“the Government in companion with enterprises” of the province has been highly
appreciated according to domestic and abroad opinions. However, what could be done for
Dong Nai province to outstand other cities and provinces nationwide in the context of
intense competitiveness? Although the PCI index of Dong Nai province has been
guaranteed to maintain steady growth for the past years, the total index score has not been
“excellent”, in which some criteria are even below average. Some shortcomings in the
picture of FDI in Dong Nai province need improving such as problems about inappropriate
enterprise structures, FDI enterprises in Dong Nai province are mostly SME from Asian
countries; the linkage among enterprises in the same Industrial Zone and among Industrial
Zones in the province has not been established; there has been the lack in supporting
industries for FDI enterprises; insufficiency of highly qualified labor force; infrastructure
investment has not matched economic growth rate; investment promotion has not been
professionally carried out and been separated from trade promotion; the monopoly in
infrastructure and service supply has resulted in particular drawbacks; potential risks have
raised from environmental factors etc.
Foreign investment attraction oriented toward sustainable growth requires Dong Nai
government to come up with specific solutions which should be aimed at systematic
strategy, technical breakthrough and synchronized capability. |
