Despite the Global Economic Crisis, Foreign Direct Investment was up by 37.5% in the first quarter of 2009 compared to the same period of 2008. One of the notable efforts of the province is the serious focus on attracting and promoting domestic and foreign investment.  Up to date, the province has approved a total of 184 projects, at a value of 3.285 trillion kip equivalent to US$ 391 m.  In the fiscal year 2007/2008 alone, 48 projects at value of 826.7 billion kip or US$ 97.2 m have been approved.  The majority of investments account for agriculture, facilitation of tourism infrastructure, industry and services.  With the socio-economic development and its potentials, an increasing future trend is expected. The GDP growth rate over the last ten years is remarkable.

Therefore, it is not surprising that investors, businessmen, both domestic and foreign in all  sectors choose  Champasak Province  as one of their investment  destinations due to its plentiful natural resources that are suitable for investment in agriculture (farming and livestock rising) especially organic farming and processing. Most importantly, eco-tourism, cultural and famous historical attraction sites, such as Wat Phou Champasak, the second national World Heritage and Khon Pha Pheng, also known as the “South East Asian Niagara Falls” or the “Pearl of Mekong”, invite all of you to visit, invest and doing business. Yet, there is an opportunity that investors should not miss, namely to invest in and develop the Khon Pha Pheng zone. The government has earmarked the area to be a Special Economic Zone open to interested investors.

Ladies and gentlemen, the information published on this webpage about potentials and investment opportunities gives a first glance at comparative potentials and the competitive business investment climate of our province.  For more detailed information, please contact the Department of Planning and Investment of Champasak Province.
