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.

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.

restructuring and new-style rural area building, gaining positive results.

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./.
After more than four years of implementing a project launched by the Hoa Binh Party Committee’s Standing Board on developing agriculture and promoting product consumption linked with building new-style rural areas for the 2021-2025 period, the province’s industry and trade sector has made significant strides, greatly contributing to local socio-economic development.

The district has been focusing on executing the plans and trying to achieve a GRDP growth rate of approximately 15%.
