This divestment brought IDICO a profit of about VND 525 billion VND.

- IDICO will also focus on expanding industrial zone area; developing factories/warehouses for lease in industrial zones, combined with developing rooftop solar energy on factories and warehouses to create long-term stable income. In addition, IDICO will also focus on developing residential areas, utilities, and social infrastructure around industrial zones to serve the lives of workers, labors, and experts working in industrial zones; creating a sustainable development ecosystem around the IDICO industrial zones.

Currently, IDICO has a clean land fund of about 700ha which has been cleared for compensation, 400-500 ha has completed infrastructure and be ready for lease. The goal in the next 5 years is to expand the land fund to about 1,400ha, the plan is 1ha leasing out will be replaced by another 2ha. IDICO will invest in industrial parks located in strategic locations to attract investment, avoid risks and limit competition with other industrial zones in Vietnam. 

Sharing more about business results, the General Director said that in the 9 months of 2021, IDICO has leased 85ha/140ha of the year plan. In addition, in order to create more value to Shareholders, in the next 5-7 years, IDICO will study to account the revenue of sublessors in lump sum instead of dividing into 50 years. This plan will apply to industrial zones that meet the conditions prescribed by law. IDICO also aims to maintain a dividend in stock and cash of 30%-45% in the next 5-7 years;
