However, there are still some areas failing to attract investment. In particulat, Vinh Thanh, Hoai An and An Lao are the places that attracted only one or two projects in the past year.

The key solution for improving economic growth is to improve the business and investment environment, which is still identified as a key task of all levels and sectors. According to the plan approved by the province, the tasks in the coming time will be:
