Adjust Investment Registration Certificate in Xuan Hoa Ward
According to the policy of rearranging administrative units, Xuan Hoa Ward has been officially merged to establish a new, larger administrative unit. This important change means that enterprises and investment projects with headquarters or operational locations in the old administrative boundaries must now update legal information according to the new administrative unit. One of the top questions is whether investors have to carry out procedures for adjusting the Investment Registration Certificate to reflect the correct name and address. Viet An Law would like to guide through the article below.

Xuan Hoa Ward after merging administrative boundaries
New scale: The new area has a larger area, creating space for the implementation of master plans. The larger size of the population also means that it is a large consumer market with abundant labor resources.
Economic structure: The new area will have an integrated economic structure from the old units. It is necessary to identify the key economic sectors of each region. The old District 3 and the old Vo Thi Sau Ward are strong in trade, tourism and historical relics. When merged, the new area can create a greater value supply chain, attracting tourists.
Investment environment: With a single management hub and a larger scale, the new area has a greater attraction for large investors. The planning of functional areas (commercial centers, technology parks, tourist areas) has become more feasible.
Local brand: The name of the new administrative unit in Xuan Hoa ward can create a new local “brand” with high value in attracting tourism and investment, especially in the central areas.
