HBO - In the first quarter of 2019, considerable reforms were made in leadership and management of the whole political system of Hoa Binh province, and all-level authorities and sectors have joined together to realise socio-economic development tasks for this year.

Thanks to the province’s efforts, positive signs have been recorded in different spheres, including stable socio-economic development and good year-on-year growth in some sectors. Notably, the gross regional domestic product (GRDP) grew by 8.63 percent in Q1.

While agricultural production has kept developing, spring crop schedules have been fulfilled. The province has put animal epidemics under control, helping livestock farming recover.

It has also pushed ahead with agricultural restructuring and new-style rural area building, gaining positive results. Sixty-three communes in Hoa Binh have obtained the new-style rural area status. Particularly, Hoa Binh city also gained this status, making the province the first in the northwestern region to have a district-level locality named new-style rural area.

Hoa Binh posted fair growth in its industrial production, whose value was estimated at 8.68 trillion VND (over 374.3 million USD). Businesses, especially foreign invested ones, still report stable and developing performance with total export value rising 17.43 percent from a year earlier. The province collected 838 billion VND for the State budget. Additionally, many projects have been launched or completed on schedule.

Meanwhile, improvements have also been recorded in social and cultural aspects. Hoa Binh has been working to tap into its tourism potential in order to attract more visitors from both inside and outside of the province. The number of travellers to local tourist sites has continued surging, reaching 1.1 million, helping the province earn about 600 billion VND in tourism revenue.

In 2018, Hoa Binh climbed four places in the Provincial Competitiveness Index rankings compared to the previous year. Many sub-indexes were strongly improved, particularly the one on provincial authorities’ dynamism.

The provincial administration is demanding relevant sectors to drastically carry out solutions to improve the local investment and business climate and support the implementation of key projects./.
