event.
According to the provincial Department of Planning and Investment, the province
is on track to achieve a GDP growth rate of 9.74% this year, exceeding initial
target. This remarkable growth is underpinned by robust performances across
various sectors: agro-forestry-fisheries are expected to grow by 4.27%,
industry and construction by 15,13%, services 6.96%, and products taxes 5.67%.
Several indicators have exceeded planned targets, including a projected per
capita GRDP of 81 million VND (3,200 USD), a total State budget revenue of
7,230 billion VND, an export turnover estimated at over 2 billion USD, import
turnover at more than 1.37 billion USD, and an urbanisation rate of 36% by the
end of 2024.
Social and environment targets have also been met, with the poverty rate
reduced by 2.3%, 62.5% of the workforce now trained, 61% of the schools meeting
national standards, and 92.58% of the population enrolled in health insurance.
Additionally, six more communes have achieved status for a new-style rural
area, bringing the total to 86 communes, or 66.67% of the province's total,
with an average of 16.3 criteria per commune. Access to clean water for rural
residents is estimated at 95.9%, while forest coverage remains stable at
51.61%.
The
province has made decisive and concerted efforts across four strategic
breakthroughs, including planning, administrative reform, workforce development
linked to job creation and labour productivity, and socio-economic
infrastructure, with positive results.
Delegates
provided feedback on a draft decision approving investment in building 48
police offices for communes and towns across the province, as well as a draft
plan to celebrate the 140th anniversary of the province's founding and the 35th
anniversary of its re-establishment next year.
Concluding the event, Khanh urged departments and
localities to intensify efforts to increase budget revenue and accelerate
public investment disbursement. He instructed the Department of Natural
Resources and Environment to coordinate with local authorities to finalise land
use plans for swift approval by the provincial People's Committee.
