(BNP) – On the afternoon of August 5, during the conference announcing the Master Plan for Bac Ninh City (to 2050, with a vision to 2075) and the decision recognizing the city as a Grade I urban area, Bac Ninh province awarded investment policy approvals, investor approvals, and investment registration certificates for a series of key local projects.
At the conference, Bac Ninh provincial leaders directly awarded investment policy approvals, investor approvals, and investment registration certificates, representing a total capital of VND 179,374 billion (equivalent to USD 6.93 billion) to investors across three major project groups.
Regarding the group of urban, service, and essential infrastructure projects, approvals and certificates were awarded for 14 projects located outside industrial zones, with a total registered capital of nearly USD 4.1 billion. This group comprises eight large-scale urban area projects and six projects covering services, technical infrastructure, and healthcare – including an inland waterway port, a supermarket, a dry port/logistics hub, a vaccine manufacturing plant, and a private hospital.
For the social housing sector, investment policy and investor approvals were granted for 14 new projects with a combined investment of more than VND 38.831 trillion (approximately USD 1.476 billion). Once completed, the projects are expected to deliver around 27,900 housing units, helping to meet the accommodation needs of workers and laborers across the province.
In the industrial sector, investment policy approvals were issued for five industrial park infrastructure projects worth more than VND 8.266 trillion (USD 314 million). The province also granted investment registration certificates to seven new FDI projects with total registered capital of USD 243 million, while eight existing FDI projects in industrial parks received approval for capital increases totaling approximately USD 795 million.
The awarding of investment policy approval decisions, investor approvals, and investment registration certificates for a series of large-scale projects at the conference not only creates a significant driver for Bac Ninh province’s socio-economic growth in the new phase but also lays the foundation for realizing a modern, integrated urban development landscape in alignment with the approved master plan.
In the first seven months of 2026, Bac Ninh province attracted over USD 13.8 billion in converted investment capital with FDI alone accounting for over USD 2.7 billion, ranking fourth nationwide. This achievement reaffirms the province’s attractive investment environment and maintains its position as a national leader in attracting foreign direct investment and industrial development.
