Lam Dong needs to "design" an investment capital ecosystem

In the coming phase of Lam Dong province's expansion, instead of "attracting investment capital" as before, it is necessary to renew thinking by "designing a capital ecosystem" to serve the development of the new Lam Dong province.

Exploiting mineral resources is one of Lam Dong 's strengths.

INVESTMENT RESOURCES STATUS

According to economic experts' analysis, the current state of investment capital in the three provinces before the merger, in addition to the achievements, still has limitations. specifically, for Lam Dong province, the proportion of public investment in the total social investment structure is approximately 28% compared to the plan in 2024 and has not fully utilized existing resources. The foreign direct investment (FDI) sector also plays an important role in the province's capital investment structure but uses a significant land fund. The limitation for Lam Dong is the lack of local venture capital funds, and the mechanism for attracting private capital into infrastructure is not synchronous.

Binh Thuan province has advantages in renewable energy (especially wind power and solar power) and has attracted many large-scale projects, but mainly domestic private capital, with public investment focusing heavily on the coastal transport system. The problem is the lack of regional financial connectivity and synchronous logistics infrastructure to stimulate high-end FDI capital flows.

In Dak Nong province alone, total social development investment capital in 2024 increased by 2.06% - equivalent to over VND 19,350 billion over the same period; however, there are not many large FDI projects, private investment is concentrated in mineral exploitation and agriculture. Limitations, lack of clean land fund, limited transport - technology infrastructure...

ASSOCIATE ADVANTAGES WITH THE PARTY'S NEW POLICY

Through the analysis of the investment situation above, it can be seen that before the merger, all three provinces had their own economic and resource dynamics, but they were still scattered and dominated by a capital integration mechanism. Therefore, "the merger into the new Lam Dong province will create conditions to design a regional financial - investment ecosystem with strategy, legal basis, and specialized operational organization, helping to optimize existing resources and attract new capital sources", shared MSc. Kieu Cong Thuoc - Chairman of VNFUND.

On the other hand, based on the outstanding advantages of Lam Dong such as: High-tech agriculture, eco-tourism, administrative - scientific center; marine economy, renewable energy, deep-water port and mineral advantages, red basalt soil, potential processing industry... to perfect the investment institution and build a regional financial ecosystem. Thereby, propose a model to diversify investment capital sources associated with new resolutions of the Party on innovation in law-making and enforcement to meet development requirements in the new era; on breakthroughs in science and technology development, innovation and national digital transformation; on private economic development and international integration in the new situation... Therefore, Lam Dong needs to soon develop and promulgate specialized provincial-level resolutions on diversifying capital sources and developing the financial - investment market in the expanded Lam Dong region and consider this a cross-cutting task in the new development strategy for the period 2025 - 2030.

Some solutions to diversify capital sources for Lam Dong province are: Perfecting investment institutions and building a regional financial ecosystem, developing a mixed finance model; mobilizing development investment capital by combining public and private capital, prioritizing PPP implementation in three key areas: transportation, education - training, digital transformation; attracting selective foreign investment (FDI), associated with green transformation and innovation; expanding community capital, startups and innovation; strengthening local fiscal governance and making investment information transparent...

With high political determination and proactive goals institutionalization of new financial models, Lam Dong can become a model of a province developing through financial innovation, contributing to the realization of national development. Therefore, diversifying investment capital sources is not only a financial requirement, but also a strategic lever in realizing the post-merger regional economic development model.
