The risk aspect of MRI is calculated based on the low level of economic and political risks of each country, while also considering future geopolitical risks.

The price of the ready-built factory is stable at 3.5 - 5 USD / m2 / rental cycle.

The total leased land area of ​​the South currently reaches 25,045 ha. Some of the remaining land banks for rent in some existing industrial parks in Ho Chi Minh City are still delayed due to difficulties in compensation and site clearance and recently the impact of Covid-19, making this supply can debut. The scarcity of supply is becoming more pronounced as the existing IPs are gradually being filled and new land is being delayed.
