Among them, the manufacturing, computer electronic communication equipment, electric machinery and equipment, petroleum processing and manufacturing witnessed a respective rise of 9.3 percent, 30 percent, 78 percent and 280 percent in the inflow of FDI, which made a combined contribution of 6.5 percentage points to the province’s FDI growth.
