Kien Giang grants 30 new investment licences in H1

The projects have a combined capital of 11.98 trillion VND (550 million USD) and cover an area of 611 hectares.

The committee said that the province has been working with relevant agencies to implement major projects such as the Kien Giang Thermal Power Plant in the Xeo Ro industrial zone or Petrovietnam projects to build a synthetic oil service port system and a bonded fuel warehouse on Phu Quoc Island.

The province also assisted with accelerating the implementation of projects in the Thanh Loc industrial zone in Chau Thanh district.

The Thanh Loc industrial zone has currently eight projects under construction and another nine registered.

Other industrial zones and the Ha Tien border gate economic zone have attracted 20 projects with a total investment capital of 4.17 trillion VND (191 million USD).

Kien Giang also revoked the licences of two projects due to their failure to implement on schedule.
