The Dung Quat Economic Zone has been planned by the Government of Vietnam as a multi-sector, multi-industry economic zone, focusing on oil refining, petrochemicals, large-scale heavy industries (steel rolling, shipbuilding, mechanical engineering, cement production, automobile manufacturing, etc.), light industries, as well as financial services, banking, tourism, and real estate.

The infrastructure system (roads, ports, water and electricity supply, waste treatment, etc.) and social amenities (hospitals, vocational schools, recreational facilities, etc.) within the Dung Quat Economic Zone have been basically completed and continue to be further developed and expanded.
