In early 2018, the province lured two new foreign direct investment (FDI) projects worth nine million USD, comprising a garment-textile company and a steel pipe producing company.
Tien Giang will continue stepping up administrative reform and support businesses in investment law and climate, the official added.
The province is now home to 93 investment projects, including 66 FDI ones with total capital of more than 42.9 trillion VND (1.89 billion USD). Those projects generate jobs for some 83,000 workers while occupancy rate at the provincial industrial parks has hit 64.29 percent.

Export turnover of those firms exceeded 180 million USD in the period, or an increase of 22.37 percent against the same time last year.-VNA
