Continuously expanding investment
In the first half of July 2025, Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee Nguyen Van Duoc continuously welcomed international investors to learn, propose and expand investment. During the working sessions, Mr. Nguyen Van Duoc emphasized that the merger with Binh Duong and Ba Ria - Vung Tau not only helps Ho Chi Minh City have more room for development, but also creates a foundation to form a modern, multi-functional megacity, playing the role of a center for innovation, logistics, finance and high-tech industry.
At the meeting between the Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee and Mr. Horst Pudwill, Chairman and Founder of Techtronic Industries (TTI) in early July 2025, TTI leaders said that they are promoting plans to expand production at the Milwaukee Factory in the Ho Chi Minh City High-Tech Park. TTI wishes to cooperate with the City in developing supply chains and advanced manufacturing solutions.
Immediately afterwards, Intel Corporation also had a meeting with the Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee to discuss the plan to train human resources in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). This training program will focus on officials, civil servants, and working workers.
At the same time, the Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee worked with the Governor of the Astana International Financial Center (AIFC, Kazakhstan) to cooperate in building an international financial center in the city.
In the retail sector, at the meeting between Mr. Tezuka Daisuke, General Director of AEON Vietnam and the Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, the group's leaders informed about the plan to open 3 more large shopping centers in Ho Chi Minh City, with a total investment of up to thousands of billions of VND.
In the field of infrastructure, Gamuda Land Group (Malaysia) proposed that the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee allow research into the construction of a metro line connecting Ho Chi Minh City with Long Thanh airport and a number of urban railway lines in the inner city to increase urban traffic connectivity between the center and neighboring areas.
Domestic enterprises join the investment wave in Ho Chi Minh City
Not only attracting foreign investors, Ho Chi Minh City after the merger also witnessed a wave of investment proposals from domestic corporations, with an unprecedented scale.
In particular, Sun Group Corporation proposed to invest in a series of strategic projects such as Binh Quoi - Thanh Da Urban Area (426.9 ha), Truong Tho Urban Area (144.7 ha), Rach Chiec Sports Area (186 ha)... The most notable project proposed by this corporation is to build a road along the Saigon River about 40 km long, with a scale of 8 to 10 lanes, along with a metro or tramway line running along the Saigon River through Cu Chi district (old).
Vingroup Corporation has proposed to study and invest in an urban railway connecting the center of Ho Chi Minh City to Can Gio with a length of 48.5 km. The investor proposed to prepare for investment from 2025, construction will be carried out in 2026 - 2028, and trial operation and handover is expected in 2028. Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee has approved the investor to study the project and conduct geological surveys to serve the preparation of a pre-feasibility study report.
Vingroup also proposed to invest in offshore electricity in Can Gio, with a scale of about 3,000 MW, producing an estimated 9 billion kWh of electricity per year, with a preliminary total investment of about 4.5 billion USD. Vingroup's goal when investing in this project is to serve the internal electricity supply needs of the Can Gio coastal urban area.
However, the projects that have received the most attention are urban railway (metro) projects. In June and July 2025, a series of investor consortia sent specific project proposals to the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee.
In particular, the consortium of Dai Dung Group, Construction Corporation No. 1 (CC1) and Hoa Phat Group (abbreviated as DCH Consortium) sent a document to the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee proposing to participate as the EPC general contractor (design, construction, equipment supply) for metro projects in the city including Metro Line No. 2 (Ben Thanh - Tham Luong), Thu Thiem - Long Thanh railway line and Binh Duong - Suoi Tien new city line.
Also interested in Metro Line 2 are the Deo Ca Consortium, Fecon (Vietnam) and PowerChina Group, Sucgi Company (China). This consortium also proposed to participate in other metro lines in Ho Chi Minh City.
Meanwhile, Truong Hai Group (Thaco) proposed to study investment in the Ben Thanh - Thu Thiem - Long Thanh railway line and Metro line No. 2 in Ho Chi Minh City.
