Bac Ninh is experiencing significant economic expansion following its official designation as a centrally-governed city under Resolution No. 39/2026/QH16 of the National Assembly. The region is actively developing a semiconductor industrial ecosystem and attracting substantial high-tech investment.

In the first nine months of 2026, the city attracted over $18.74 billion in investment, representing a 22.5% increase compared to the same period in 2025. This includes 264 new FDI projects with a total registered capital of $1.677 billion.
