Thai Binh (VNA) – Foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows in the northern province of Thai Binh have exceeded 1 billion USD for the second consecutive year in 2024, according to local authorities.
Last year, the province attracted nearly 3 billion USD in FDI, with the LNG thermal power plant project making up a significant share of 1.99 billion USD. Located on the northeastern coast of Vietnam, Thai Binh is part of the Hanoi - Hai Phong - Quang Ninh strategic development triangle, and sits at the centre of the northern coastal economic zone, making it ideal for investment.
Along with organising various investment promotion activities abroad, the locality has hosted many domestic and international corporations exploring investment opportunities there.
The Thai Binh Economic Zone, spanning more than 30,580 hectares, and located near Cat Bi International Airport (35km away) and Lach Huyen International Port (50km) in Hai Phong city, has attracted numerous big investors.

Nguyen Quang Hung, Vice Chairman of the provincial People's Committee, said that the locality prioritises investors with strong capabilities, advanced technology, and high-value projects that would contribute significantly to its economic development.
