The Nghi Son Economic Zone (EZ) in northern central Thanh Hoa province has to date pulled in 25 investment projects totaling US$8.5 billion, Mai Van Ninh, chairman of the provincial people’s committee said. The EZ lured only US$9.46 million in May of this year, Ninh said. The Nghi Son EZ, with favorable transportation conditions and a long coastline, is emerging as an attractive destination for investors to build deep-water seaports and oil refineries. Nghi Son is among 15 coastal EZs listed in the country’s development plan for 2020 that Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has approved. |
