The event was co-organised by the Central Institute forEconomic Management (CIEM), the Vietnam National Real Estate Association(VNREA) and Thuong gia (Entrepreneur) magazine.

Speaking at the event, former Construction Deputy Ministerand VNREA Chairman Nguyen Tran Nam said industrial property is the mostattractive segment in 2019, wooing industrial manufacturers in Southeast Asia.

The rate of occupancy in industrial parks reached 73.9 percent.

CIEM Director Nguyen Dinh Cung affirmed that theattractiveness of domestic industrial property is more than the average in theregion, which will be further propelled by low labour cost, reasonable landlease prices, and preferential corporate income tax.

However, he admitted that infrastructure remains segmented,industrial and economic zones’ contributions to the gross domestic product arebelow potential while the State policies are insufficient to develop thesector.

Vice Chairman of the Ha Nam provincial People’s CommitteeTruong Quoc Huy said apart from providing incentives, the province also holdsregular dialogues with investors to promptly address their difficulties.

Huy said Ha Nam is now home to seven out of the eightindustrial zones with suitable infrastructure and hundreds of firms doing goodbusiness. In recent years, Ha Nam has been among the top 10 localitiesnationwide in terms of foreign direct investment attraction.
