Together with patriotic emulation movements, the provincial People's Committee has launched other emulation movements of special significance to inspire strength and solidarity to overcome difficulties of both the political system and the business community. Notably, it is necessary to mention the movement "Emulating to realise ‘dual goals’ of pandemic prevention and control and socio-economic recovery and development in 2021”, and another calling for locals to make special achievements to celebrate the 135th anniversary of establishment of the province, and the 30th anniversary of its re-establishment.
The pandemic has had negative impacts on production and business activities of cooperatives and enterprises, especially those in industrial zones. However, with high determination, creativity and efforts in production and business, enterprises and cooperatives have unanimously united to overcome difficulties. Together with the development of industry, services and tourism, and the improvement of the quality of agricultural development in association with new-style rural area building, many enterprises and cooperatives have organised emulation movements in association with performing the obligation to pay the State budget, implementing policies supporting employees, expanding scientific and technological applications in production, business management, and actively participating in social welfare activities.
It can be affirmed that emulation movements launched at the right time, in accordance with the reality have inspired the strength of unity of the whole political system to fulfill the dual goals. Therefore, Hoa Binh is a bright spot in a number of areas. Notably, the province has well controlled the pandemic, becoming a typical green (safe) area of the country, which has helped boost its economic recovery and development.
In the third quarter of 2021, while many localities suffered from negative growth, leading to an economic contraction of 6.17 percent of the whole country, Hoa Binh maintained a good growth momentum. Its GDP is estimated to increase by 8.3 percent year-on-year, among the highest in the country. The production value of agriculture, forestry and fishery was estimated to rise by 5.43 percent, the value of industrial production by 26.23 percent, the export turnover by 5.43 percent, and the import value by 3.05 percent, compared to those of the same period last year. The results have created momentum for the province to make efforts to fulfill the targets and tasks set out in 2021./.
