The province has so far attracted more than 4,200 projects from 65 countries and territories, with a total capital of more than $40 billion. Among them, Singapore is the third largest investor in Binh Duong. Singaporean companies have invested in 290 projects with the total investment capital of nearly $5.5 billion.
In 2023, Singapore takes the lead among countries and territories investing in Binh Duong with the total investment capital of more than $450 million, accounting for 27.5 per cent of the total sum.
Kho Ngee Seng Roy, consul general of Singapore in Ho Chi Minh City said, "Binh Duong is one of the most attractive and promising locations in Vietnam for Singaporean investors, thanks to its strategic location in the Southern Key Economic Region. Going forward, Singapore will continue to accompany Vietnam in general and Binh Duong province in particular in innovation and digital transformation, especially developing renewable energy and green industrial parks."
Vo Van Minh, Chairman of Binh Duong People's Committee said, "Binh Duong is making efforts to lure Singaporean investment and cement cooperation with Singaporean partners.
