In particular, the company is enjoying preferential policies on corporate income tax exemption and reduction. The Government's recent policies on exemption, reduction and extension of some types of taxes and land rents have also supported businesses in resolving difficulties, proactively raising financial resources, maintaining working capital to restore production, retain employees and continue to develop.
In fact, in Hai Phong, right after storm No. 3, the Government, the city and departments and branches had many timely solutions to help businesses quickly restore operations, avoiding disruption of the supply chain. Thanks to that, many businesses in the city, as well as foreign-invested enterprises, are still on the growth path.
Notable are enterprises in the automobile sector such as: Vinfast Automobile Manufacturing Complex, Bridgestone Vietnam Tire Manufacturing Company, Hoa Mai Automobile Company Limited, etc. Products of the automobile manufacturing industry include passenger cars and light trucks.
The machinery and equipment industry serving the marine economy, electronics, refrigeration, and high-tech industries also grew and participated in the global production network and value chain.
The textile and footwear manufacturing industry group has grown, similar to the growth trend of the apparel manufacturing industry; the rate of domestically-invested enterprises producing and directly exporting textile and garment products has grown...
It can be said that Hai Phong City has many advantages and much room for industrial production development. Mr. Le Trung Kien - Head of Hai Phong Economic Zone Management Board - said: The activities of industrial parks and economic zones attracted 53 projects in 9 months, with a total investment capital of 1,24 billion USD, of which FDI capital reached 1,19 billion USD, equal to 60% of the annual plan. Accumulated to September 9, industrial parks and economic zones attracted 2024 foreign direct investment projects with a total investment capital estimated at 573 billion USD.
Mr. Kien added: Currently, industrial parks and enterprises are in great need of attracting investment and expanding production. Therefore, the growth trend in the last months of the year is very feasible and needs to be grasped, creating all conditions to meet the requirements of industrial production. The city is also urgently establishing the Southern Hai Phong Coastal Economic Zone to ensure balance and harmony between economic benefits and green and sustainable requirements. This will be a lever to help Hai Phong City continue to maintain the momentum of economic growth in general, and IIP growth in particular, in 2024 and the following years.
