The provincial Department of Planning and Investment said the numbers represented a 36.3-percent increase in project number and a 36.7-percent drop in the amount of registered capital in comparison with the same period last year.
The reduction was caused by an annual fall in the average capital registered per project, which ranged between 100 and 110 billion VND (4.4 – 4.84 million USD). The figure for last year was between 200 and 225 billion VND (8.8 – 9.9 million USD).
Large projects recorded during the period included a 1.45 trillion VND (63.8 million USD) industrial cluster for farm produce processing, the 283.3 billion VND (12.4 million USD) expansion of Ba Chua Xu spiritual-cultural tourism site, and a 150 billion VND (6.6 million USD) tourism site in Tra Su mountain.
