The Ho Chi Minh City branch of Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) recently cooperated with People’s Committee of Tay Ninh Province to hold a conference named “Calling investment into Tay Ninh Province and investment opportunities at Bourbon An Hoa Industrial Park”. At the event, leaders of Tay Ninh Province said, the locality is ready to roll out a red carpet for investors and pledges to create the best conditions for them to do businesses. Being a locality facing many difficulties, the province imposes the lowest tax frame of the State.
Speaking at the conference, Director of the branch Vo Tan Thanh said, over the past recent years, Tay Ninh has emerged as a new attractive destination for investors, particularly its location in the key southern economic zone in particular and Mekong sub-region in general. Southern economic corridor runs from Dawei of Myanmar through Thailand and Cambodia to Vung Tau Port. It also goes through Tay Ninh Province. In 2015 when the ASEAN economic community is officially set up, it is possible to witness more large-scale regional economic cooperation moves. Tay Ninh, where Ho Chi Minh Highway runs through, is the junction of major routes and shares bore gates with Cambodia. It is also easy to get access to southern economic centres from Tay Ninh. For all of these advantages, the province promises to play a role as a transshipment spot for receiving and distributing goods in the region in the near future. The province also sees great potential for investment and business chances.
Vice Chairman Tran Luu Quang of Tay Ninh People’s Committee, said, following the economic policies of the Party and the Sate, over the past years, local authorities of all levels have made great efforts to develop its internal strength for its own development as well as for the country. The province pays a very special attention to building a good investment environment; creating favourable conditions for both local and foreign investors; helping investors to deal with difficulties. According to a report on Vietnam’s Provincial Competitiveness Index 2011 conducted by the VCCI, Tay Ninh was ranked the 25th among 63 cities and provinces nationwide. The province stood the 9th in the country in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI). This shows that Tay Ninh is an appealing destination for foreign investors.
