NEW LAW ON INDUSTRIAL PARKS PROPOSED TO LURE IN HIGH QUALITY INVESTMENT CAPITAL FLOW 📃 The Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI) has proposed developing a law on industrial parks, aiming to create flourishing conditions for Việt Nam to build large and green industrial parks that can attract high-quality investment capital flow. 🏭 According to a report from the MPI, the country currently has 416 industrial parks and more than 1,000 industrial clusters, contributing around 50 per cent of the country's export turnover. 🗺 According to some of the enterprises, though they have strongly supported ecological industrial parks and a circular economy to encourage sustainable development, in reality, investment in industrial parks is still very difficult due to complex and overlapping legal regulations. 📌 The incentive policies will focus on highly specialised and smart industrial parks, which can attract new investment fields such as those supporting the digital and green economies, chips, semiconductors, and innovative material industries. Under the law, the MPI has also proposed preferential policies related to taxes, fees and capital investment in these zones. 👉 To read the full article, kindly visit here: https://lnkd.in/gidyE9AP #VietnameseLaw #IndustrialPark #AHKVietnam #PartnerForGrowth
