The venture is set for a 50-year operational term, starting on January 14, 2024.

The Hai Phong Economic Zone Authority (HEZA) is setting its sights high for 2025, aiming to attract 3-3.5 billion USD in foreign direct investment (FDI), according to its head Le Trung Kien.

HEZA reported that in 2024, FDI inflows into industrial and economic zones soared to 4.35 billion USD, or 242% of the target. Cumulatively, total FDI in these zones now stands at 30.3 billion USD, with over 77% of projects concentrated in high-tech, manufacturing, processing, and logistics.

Last year, firms operating in local industrial and economic zones generated a total revenue of 33.5 billion USD, equivalent to 105% of the target. Their exports were estimated at 28.5 billion USD, or 109% of the yearly target while imports totaled 22.8 billion USD, achieving 107%. Their tax contributions to the state budget amounted to 12.35 trillion VND (494 million USD), meeting 104% of the target.

This boom has led to employment for 210,182 workers, each earning an average of 11.52 million VND per month.
