The northern province of Bac Giang will take drastic measures from now until the end of this year to lure more investments.

The Department of Planning and Investment was asked to study new policies on investment attraction, and propose measures to increase the quality of projects.
The management board of industrial zones was directed to strengthen responsibility and urge investors to speed up construction on industrial zone infrastructure, and work with districts in ground clearance to create favourable conditions for investors.
Linh also asked the Department of Construction to work with Bac Giang city and districts to inspect and supervise the granting of construction licenses, enhance its responsibility of managing construction order and solve violations.
Currently, there are 1,400 projects in the locality, of which 1,062 projects worth more than VND78.7 trillion are invested by domestic businesses and 338 are foreign direct investment projects worth more than US$3.9 trillion.
