FDI attraction uneven in north-central region

Thanh Hoa province attracted $41 million in FDI in the first nine months of this year; one of the poorest results in the north-central region. Investment to neighboring Nghe An and Ha Tinh provinces, meanwhile, increased sharply. These two provinces have rapidly developed their industrial sectors in recent years. Ha Tinh has the Vung Ang Economic Zone as a driving force for development, while Nghe An has two or three industrial parks attracting investment.
