The province awarded investment registration certificates to seven projects by Truong Hai Auto Corporation (THACO), including factories for mechanical electrical refrigeration, car wire harnesses, vehicle glass, auto body parts factory, and car interiors. It also gave the go-ahead for a THACO Industries research and development centre worth more than $12 million.

Quang Nam also granted approval for the expansion and upgrade of Chu Lai wharf inside the Tam Hiep port complex, worth over $63 million. It will be funded by Truong Hai International Logistics.
