Central Highland provinces see investment boom
VOV.VN - A rise in the number of investors in the Central Highland provinces this year has helped spur their socio-economic development, according to the Steering Committee of the Central Highlands.
In Dak Lak province alone, 75 projects have been granted investment licenses with a total registered capital of nearly VND4,000 billion, a rise of 19.19% in project numbers and 246% in capital provided. Dozens of projects have come into operation such as a five-star complex, a convention centre, a Central Highland kindergarten, and a pig farm.
The results are attributed to Central Highland provinces’ efforts to promote investment through organizing conferences and publicizing investment calls for projects on provincial websites while improving the business and investment environment and committing to administration reform to create the best possible conditions for businesses.
Investment preferential policies for land and water surface rents and corporate income tax, and incentive schemes for agriculture and rural development have also been publicized.
The region has also paid attention to transport infrastructure, industrial zones, information and telecommunications, electricity and water supply and land funds to facilitate optimal performance of investors and businesses.
At present, central highland provinces are calling for investment in hi-tech agriculture, organic agriculture, tourism, luxury resorts, agricultural processing industry, and renewable energy.
