Phu Yen province recently confirmed that a US$3.2 billion oil refinery project of UK Technostar Management Ltd in Vung Ro is set to get off the ground this August.
As a matter of policy, the People’s Committee is committed to creating the best conditions for investors to implement projects on schedule, he added.
When the Vung Ro project is fully operational, it should contribute about US$111 million per annum to the state budget and generate jobs for roughly 1,300 labourers.
Production at the refinery should also buttress the nation’s economy which is highly dependent on importing oil from foreign countries. The new refinery will allow Vietnam to greatly reduce its dependency on foreign oil.
In the past week, the Binh Dinh provincial People’s Committee also worked with Thailand’s Petroleum Corporation seeking for a US$27 billion Nhon Hoi oil refinery project.
The two projects hold great promise for the future economic landscape in the region, acting as a catalyst for propelling its economy forward and improving its investment environment.
Since the Dung Quat oil refinery was constructed in Quang Ngai province, the central coastal region has been "awakened", and these projects are contributing to reshaping the oil refinery industry in the entire nation.
The US’s Exxon Mobil Corporation recently announced it is planning to invest in a gas-power complex project in the region to bring gas ashore and build gas and power plants. With a scheduled investment capital outlay of US$20 billion, the economic benefits are bound to reverberate throughout the region.
Le Van Dung, deputy head of the management board of Dung Quat Economic Zone, noted that other projects such as Guang Lian steel plans to raise their investment capital by US$1.5 billion to US$4.5 billion and planned thermoelectric Semcorp bumped up their capital by US$2 billion.
Additionally, preparations for constructing two nuclear power plants in Ninh Thuan province are underway. Once these projects are put into operation, they will sow enormous benefits local and national economies, helping ensure national energy security.
The provinces of Quang Nam, Danang, Hue, Ninh Thuan and Binh Thuan provinces are increasingly becoming more attractive to domestic and foreign tourists and the tourism industry is starting to blossom. There are a series of tourist resort projects underway along Vietnam’s most beautiful coastline.
The largest project in this area is South Hoi An in Quang Nam province, which is still being constructed at a total cost of US$4 billion.
The tourism sector promises to bring many benefits for localities, especially in job creation, contributing significantly to budget revenue and stimulating local economic growth.
