The goal of economic development zones, while very large finite resources is a paradox are many ideas raised at the Workshop on "Restructuring the economy, innovation growth model, the problems posed to economic zones, border economic zones in Vietnam "held this morning (19/11) in Hai Phong.
 

With the participation of many economic experts and managers, workshop not only lead to a direct view of the state but also propose solutions to innovation, economic development zones.

Vice Chairman of the Economic Committee of Congress, Mr. Mai Xuan Hung, the statement said threads lead after the first open economic zone Chu Lai was established and put into operation in 2003, now has 15 economic zones have been planned, formed and developed. It also has built, the economic development of the gate 28 in the country.

Are thought to contribute to promoting common development, but not at the idea that the construction and finishing too many economic zones, economic zones gate current is becoming a burden on the budget.

Area economic area 10 times the contribution of industrial parks but not many sources of revenue, was only about $ 600 million, Mr. Hung said.

According to Mr. Vu Thanh Tu Anh, the most important objectives of the construction of economic zones in Vietnam is to test the model, institutions, and new policies to create the motivation to develop a computer break, thereby bringing new vitality, enhance competitiveness and promote export to the entire economy, but most difficult to implement. Typically as the economic zone was established first as Chu Lai, no new policies, to exploit trade has not significantly, not a dynamic development of the central.

According to the analysis of many opinions, most of the coastal economic zones established in the local economic conditions - social problems, even extremely difficult, very difficult to achieve economy and low occupancy rates.

Economist Vo Dai brief remarks, Vietnam does not have a really special economic zone which is basically just the industrial park. While foreign investment target for the cause waste of land and low investment efficiency.

So the mechanism of resource allocation for reasonable economic zones, border economic zones in close relationship with the restructuring of the investment, especially public investment is one of the requirements placed out at the workshop.
