Occupancy rate at operational industrial parks at nearly 73 percent
In the 7-month period, five
new IPs were established or given green light to set up on a total area of
1,882.6 ha, while one had its licence withdrawn and another was excluded from
the national planning.
As of the end of July, the country had 328
industrial parks covering 96,300 hectares, of which 223 had become operational.
The country had 16 newly-established economic
zones covering approximately 815,000 hectares and plans to set up two coastal
economic ones in northern Thai Binh and Nam Dinh provinces.
IPs and economic zones have so far attracted
7,757 foreign-invested projects with combined capital of 163.9 billion USD,
around 58 percent of which has been disbursed.
The zones are also accommodating
8,052 domestic projects.
Additionally, 87 percent of the 223 operational
industrial parks have built waste treatment plants, fulfilling the National
Assembly’s set target.
Head of the Management Department of Economic
Zones Tran Duy Dong said the department will continue improving the planning
work for industrial parks in order to ensure the proper and effectiveness use
of land.-VNA
