Binh Duong FDI up sharply

The southern province of Binh Duong has licensed 108 new and existing foreign direct investment (FDI) projects with total capital of US$2.83 billion so far this year.

The figure doubled the same period last year, bringing the whole number of FDI projects in the province to 2,070 with a combined investment capital of $16.83 billion.
