HCMC, September 01, 2022 Author Do Thi Lan Dai ABSTRACT In recent years, the mobilization and use of investment capital, especially foreign investment capital, have significantly affected the country‟s speed and quality of economic growth and each locality Besides, Dong Nai has favorable conditions to develop the marine economy with the Southeast provinces These economic, demographic, and geographic factors help facilitate Dong Nai‟s promotion of economic development However, Dong Nai still faces significant challenges in developing specific sectors and products with comparative advantages Attracting and effectively using investment capital is always a complex problem for locations still weak in infrastructure, financial sophistication, attractive policies, the efficiency of using capital sources, and many inadequacies when implementing investment projects Therefore, this study aims to identify factors affecting the investment capital attraction for sustainable economic growth The author tested Cronbach‟s Alpha, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and structural equation model (SEM) Based on the research results, the author proposed policy implications for attracting investment capital for sustainable economic growth in Dong Nai province The study surveyed 1.000 managers related to enterprises with investment capital in Dong Nai province, but 939 samples were processed and answered 39 questions The data was collected from June 2020 to November 2020 Based on the things mentioned above, eight factors affect the investment capital attraction for sustainable economic growth in Dong Nai province Technology (Te); Working and living environment (Wle); infrastructure (In); investment costs (Ic); human resources (Hr); investment policies (Ip); regional connectivity (Rc); and public service quality (Psq) Besides The results are also scientific and important for Dong Nai province researchers and policymakers to apply research results to improve investment capital attraction based on high and low standardized coefficients Finally, the author proposed policy implications for attracting investment capital to improve Dong Nai province's sustainable economic growth: technology, Working and living environment, infrastructure, investment costs, human resources, investment policies, regional connectivity, and public service quality

results are not high The dissertation's principal limitation is that the research model only tested with 1,000 business leaders representing the more than 20,000 business leaders in Dong Nai province Although the research objectives have been set, this dissertation still has a limitation: the convenient random sampling method and only in the locality Many other factors have not been included in the research model, for example, trade promotion activities 5.3.2 Suggestions for further research To overcome the limitations, and weaknesses, minimize errors, and other studies conducted more broadly and profoundly At the same time, researching factors such as trade promotion activities that could potentially attract investment capital nationwide Further studies could compare the critical factors affecting investment attraction with other countries Summary of chapter In chapter 5, due to the epidemic's impact in 2022, the economy will still face many difficulties However, the

infrastructure (In); investment costs (Ic); human resources (Hr); investment policies (Ip); regional connectivity (Rc); and public service quality (Psq) Besides The results are also scientific and vital for researchers and policymakers to apply research results to improving investment capital attraction based on standardized coefficients from high to low Finally, the author stated the research‟s limitations and offered suggestions for further research REFERENCES Abdikeev, N M., Yu, S., Bogachev, M and Melnichuk, V 2018, „Identifying the factors that contribute to the sustainable
