The Vietnamese government introduced two key resolutions on January 1 aimed at bolstering economic growth in 2019.

Vietnam aims for growth of 6.6-6.8% in 2019.
Resolution 01 concerns measures to implement the socio-economic
plan and budget for 2019, while Resolution 02 deals with continued actions to
improve the business environment in 2019 with a view to 2021.
The overall goals for this year will
continue to be maintaining macroeconomic stability, curbing inflation,
enhancing labour productivity and improving the competitiveness of the economy.
Under Resolution 01, the government has
outlined a number of focuses, including enhancing economic resilience, building
a lean and efficient apparatus and simplifying administrative procedures, among
others.
Meanwhile the goals of Resolution 02 are
to improve Vietnam’s position regarding international rankings on competitiveness,
increase the number of new businesses, and reduce informal costs for
enterprises.
To achieve such targets, the government
aims to continue cutting unnecessary business regulations, fully implement the
reforms already introduced in 2018, and further support innovations and
start-up businesses.
Last year the Vietnamese economy
expanded by an estimated 7.08%, the highest growth rate in 11 years, thanks to
buoyant manufacturing activity and strong exports.
For 2019 the National Assembly has set the economic
growth target at 6.6-6.8%.

Dao Village’s honey – a product certified with a 3-star OCOP (One Commune One Product) rating by Thong Nhat Agricultural Cooperative in Dao Village (Hoa Binh City) – is highly regarded by consumers for its quality, richness, and variety in packaging. The distinctively sweet taste of Dao Village’s honey leaves a lasting impression on anyone who has tried it.
In alignment with Project No. 07-DA/TU, issued by the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee on November 1, 2021, Lac Thuy district has actively promoted investment and supported the sustainable development of its industrial and handicraft sectors during the 2021–2025 period. Alongside this, the district has remained committed to preserving and revitalising traditional craft villages.
Located in the northern part of Lac Thuy district, with a temperate climate and fertile soil, Phu Thanh commune has great potential and advantages in growing tea. The long-standing experience, combined with strict adherence to organic farming practices in the tea gardens, ensures that the dried tea products from Phu Thanh and Lac Thuy as a whole are sold out immediately upon production, providing a stable and prosperous life for the local people.
Amid efforts to streamline the administrative apparatus, Hoa Binh province has intensified measures to address challenges in land clearance, resettlement support, and infrastructure investment, aiming to speed up the progress of key projects.
Hoa Binh province has posted an unprecedented economic growth rate of 12.76% in the first quarter of 2025, marking its highest quarterly performance to date and positioning it as the second fastest-growing locality in the country, trailing only Bac Giang province.
Under current regulations, products in the One Commune – One Product (OCOP) programme that are rated three stars or higher must undergo re-evaluation every three months. However, in reality, some of these products fail to consistently meet the required standards, raising concerns about the sustainability of their OCOP certification. This underscores the urgent need for producers to enhance product quality and gradually develop their OCOP products into strong, marketable brands.
