(HBO) - Since the beginning of the year, the COVID-19 pandemic has partly caused remarkable decreases in the number of projects as well as the amount of registered investment capital in Hoa Binh province.
In May, the province approved the investment plan for a
domestically-invested project with a capital of about 20 billion VND, and
adjusted investment plans for two others. In the first five months of this
year, the province approved investment plans for four domestically-invested
projects, with a total capital of 113.5 billion VND. The province now has 599
investment projects, of which 41 are foreign-invested totalling 595.5 million
USD and 558 are domestic ones worth 87.5 trillion VND.

to suspend production and business activities, and five dissolving voluntarily.

The cultivation of Dam Xanh fish (Bangana lemassoni), a unique fish species, has seen remarkable growth in Mai Chau district, thanks to its high economic value and effectiveness.

These areas benefit from pristine underground water flowing from mountain crevices, providing ideal conditions for raising this specialty fish.
