Economic situations

Dong Nai is an industrial province which experienced heavy investment from foreign investors in shipping, food products and manufacturing industries since Vietnam opened to foreign investment in the late 1980s. Dong Nai has many traditional industrial clusters and more than 32 industrial parks have operated.

Dong Nai is rapidly modernizing, and because of proximity to Saigon as well as a relatively well-developed infrastructure, commerce has thrived in the province. Dong Nai is widely electrified, and telephone networks and even ADSL internet connectivity was widespread in the city of Bien Hoa as of January 2004. Even though the cost of living and labor in Vietnam is below that of even India and the Philippines, economic investment is predicted to continue to increase in Dong Nai.
