The rest will continue to build industrial clusters but must follow the ecological model. Regarding the Free Trade Zone, after the 9th session of the 15th National Assembly approved the specific mechanism and policies for the development of Hai Phong city at the end of June, it is necessary to continue calculating the scope; Coordinate with investors to determine the area and development orientation of each zone.

According to the orientation, by 2030, the Southern Coastal Economic Zone will become the main driving force of Hai Phong's economy, reaching 80% of the capacity of Dinh Vu - Cat Hai Economic Zone in 2023, playing a particularly important role in connecting with neighboring economic zones, forming a chain of coastal economic zones, acting as a driving force for the development of the whole region; attracting 700 trillion VND in social investment; industrial production value reaching 2 million billion VND; contributing 550 trillion VND to the budget; creating more than 300 thousand jobs... Most importantly, this will be the "eagle's nest" to welcome the investment wave of large domestic and foreign corporations and enterprises heading to Hai Phong, especially in the field of chip, semiconductor and electronics industries. From there, it will create a superior advantage for Hai Phong in attracting high-quality FDI capital flows. With a proactive and determined spirit, we believe that the Southern Coastal Economic Zone will soon be formed in the shortest time, contributing to Hai Phong's breakthrough development, leading the way in the era of national development.
