(HBO) - After five years of implementing Directive 40 issued on November 22, 2014 by the 11th Party Secretariat on the strengthening of Party leadership over social policy credit, the amount of local trusted capital in Hoa Binh has reached over 47.7 billion VND, 41.4 billion VND higher or 691 percent rise compared to that in December 31, 2014. The amount accounts for 1.4 percent of the total capital of the Vietnam Bank for Social Policies in the province.

budget, up 220 percent compared to that in 2014, while over 28 billion VND was
transferred from the district and city’s budget, a rise of 100 percent over
2014.
So far, 100 percent of the People’s Committees of districts
and city have transferred resources from the budget to the Vietnam Bank for
Social Policies in the province. Localities with high transferred amount

Meanwhile, communal Women Unions also transferred 100
million VND to the bank./.
Once a mountainous province facing many challenges, Hoa Binh has, after more than a decade of implementing the national target programme on new-style rural area development, emerged as a bright spot in Vietnam’s northern midland and mountainous region. In the first quarter of 2025, the province recorded positive results, paving the way for Hoa Binh to enter a phase of accelerated growth with a proactive and confident mindset.
Hoa Binh province is steadily advancing its agricultural sector through the adoption of high-tech solutions, seen as a sustainable path for long-term development.

A delegation of Hoa Binh province has attended the "Meet Korea 2025" event, recently held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Embassy of the Republic of Korea (RoK) in Vietnam, the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency, and the People's Committee of Hung Yen province.
Hoa Binh province joined Vietnam’s national "One Commune, One Product” (OCOP) programme in 2019, not simply as a mountainous region following central policy, but with a clear vision to revive the cultural and agricultural values in its villages and crops.
From just 16 certified products in its inaugural year to 158 by early 2025, the One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme in Hoa Binh province has followed a steady and strategic path. But beyond the numbers, it has reawakened local heritage, turning oranges, bamboo shoots, brocade, and herbal remedies into branded, market-ready goods - and, more profoundly, transformed how local communities value and present their own cultural identity.
