Positive results in economic growth in the 3 quarters of 2025 of the locality as well as the whole country show that the above target is completely achievable with the efforts of the State and the business community. Enterprises are also expecting better production and business results in the last quarter of the year to create momentum for development in the coming time.

Growth amid volatility

Since the beginning of 2025, the world situation has undergone many changes, especially in the fields of geopolitics and economics. Strategic competition between countries has become increasingly fierce, trade tensions have escalated, and many retaliatory trade measures between major countries have affected many countries, including Vietnam.

In that context, our country's socio-economic situation has shown many bright colors in recent times. In terms of the economy as a whole, GDP in the third quarter of 2025 increased impressively by 8.23%. This increase contributed to the GDP in the first 9 months of 2025 increasing by 7.85% compared to the same period in 2024, approaching the target set by the Government ...

Up to now, Dong Nai has had more than 108,600 private enterprises registered on the National Business Registration Information System. Of which, there are more than 78,700 enterprises and more than 29,900 branches, representative offices, and business locations registered for operation with a total registered capital of about 779,100 billion VND.

Despite the world's fluctuations, FDI (foreign direct investment) capital flows in steadily, with an increasing number of new projects and the participation of many investors from major economies. Vietnam is a destination in the global supply chain restructuring strategy. In the 3 quarters of 2025, the total import and export turnover of goods reached more than 680.6 billion USD, an increase of 17.3% over the same period last year, of which exports increased by 16%; imports increased by 18.8%.

In Dong Nai, from the beginning of 2025 up to now, the Provincial Party Committee, People's Council and People's Committee have focused on leading, directing and drastically implementing tasks and solutions to restore economic development; speeding up the progress of key projects; promoting disbursement of public investment capital; taking care of people's lives and social security; focusing on administrative reform, improving the investment and business environment, and supporting enterprises to recover and develop.

With the efforts of the government, businesses and people, in the first 9 months of 2025, Dong Nai achieved a growth rate of 8.86% over the same period last year, ranking 10th in the country (in the third quarter alone, it increased by 10.18%, ranking 3rd in the country). Attracting foreign investment capital of more than 2.2 billion USD; domestic investment capital of more than 108 trillion VND. There were more than 5.6 thousand newly established enterprises with a total registered capital added to the economy of 47.5 trillion VND. In addition, the province's export turnover in the past 9 months reached more than 25.9 billion USD, an increase of 17.28% over the same period in 2024.

According to Mr. Cao Dang Vien, Chief of Dong Nai Statistics, promoting the expansion and diversification of export markets continues to be an important solution contributing to promoting economic growth of the province in particular and the country in general.

Expectations for the last months of the year

In the last months of the year, economic indicators are more promising. Therefore, objectively, Dong Nai's target of double-digit economic growth in 2025 can be achieved. However, in the context of the world still having many fluctuations, this is a very difficult task.

According to Mr. Vo Tan Duc, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, to achieve the growth target of 10% for the whole year of 2025, in the fourth quarter alone, Dong Nai must achieve a growth rate of more than 12%. That requires high determination, focused direction from authorities at all levels and the joint efforts and consensus of the business community and people in the province.

The good news is that the industrial production sector is showing a positive recovery. In September 2025, industrial production in the area continued to grow as many enterprises continued to expand production, innovate production technology processes to adapt to actual conditions, the export market was favorable, and the domestic product consumption market was quite stable.

A survey by Dong Nai Statistics shows that the production and business trends of enterprises in the processing and manufacturing industry also show optimism. In the third quarter, 25.35% of enterprises said that their production and business situation improved. Regarding the expected fourth quarter, up to 34.26% of enterprises forecast that production and business situation will increase and only 12.81% of enterprises assessed that production and business will decrease compared to the previous quarter.

Enterprises are striving to expand markets, increase added value and take advantage of opportunities to expand exports. For example, GC Food Joint Stock Company (headquartered in Ho Nai Industrial Park), this enterprise has set a long-term vision to strive for sustainable development. Mr. Nguyen Van Thu, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the company, said: The enterprise aims to expand the aloe vera raw material growing area from 200 hectares to 1,000 hectares by 2030 to serve its processing factories. Of which, the raw material growing area will increase to 400 hectares by 2027, then expand to localities with similar natural conditions.
