(HBO) – Developing the private economy sector into an important motivation of Vietnam’s socialist-oriented market economy is a focus of Resolution No.10-NQ/TW dated June 3, 2017 adopted by the 5th plenum of the 12th Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam.
To implement policies
of the Party, State and Government on the development of the private economy,
Hoa Binh province has taken various measures to facilitate the sector to thrive
and become an engine for the entire economy.
A
household in Nhuan Trach commune, Luong Son district, develops
milk cow farming.
Since 2017, the
province has attracted 211 investment products, including 17 FDI projects. So
far, 580 projects have landed in the province, of which 540 are domestic
projects worth close to 84.74 trillion VND while the remainders are FDI
projects with a combined registered capital of 575.4 million USD.
Local industrial parks
are home to 95 licensed projects, including 24 FDI projects worth nearly 500
million USD and 71 domestic investment ones with total registered capital of
close to 7.27 trillion VND. Some 55 projects have become operational, creating
jobs for about 20,000 workers.
Also during the
period, over 1,300 new enterprises have been established with total registered
capital of roughly 6.98 trillion VND and 428 firms set up representative
offices and branches in the province.
To date, Hoa Binh has
3,800 companies registering total capital of more than 40 trillion VND, 387
cooperatives, one cooperative union and over 34,000 household businesses.
However, the growth rates
of local firms are slow and most of them are small- and medium-sized. To fuel the
development of the private economy, the province will institutionalise the
government’s policies on developing the private economy in a way that suits
local context, and develop its own incentives and policies to boost the growth
of private companies.
The province also
plans to support the growth of agricultural cooperatives and adopt special
incentives to attract investors. It will accelerate public administrative
reforms and provide the best conditions for enterprises to expand production. It will also promote
dialogue with enterprises and promptly help them solve difficulties./.

Situated at the gateway to the Northwest, Hoa Binh province has a population of over 900,000, including about 540,000 of working age. It is home to 6,000 businesses and production facilities, providing employment for over 100,000 workers. The remaining workforce is engaged in informal jobs, works in enterprises outside the province, or contributes to agro-forestry-fisheries. Additionally, around 3,000 workers are employed abroad.
The Hoa Binh provincial People's Committee has issued Decision No. 2767/QD-UBND announcing the rankings of departments, agencies, districts and Hoa Binh city in the Public Administration Reform Index (PAR) and the Satisfaction Index of Public Administration Services (SIPAS) in 2024.
The cultivation of Dam Xanh fish (Bangana lemassoni), a unique fish species, has seen remarkable growth in Mai Chau district, thanks to its high economic value and effectiveness. Initially concentrated in Van Mai commune, farming has now extended to four other communes, namely Mai Hich, Mai Ha, Chieng Chau, and Son Thuy. These areas benefit from pristine underground water flowing from mountain crevices, providing ideal conditions for raising this specialty fish.
In 2024, the total state budget revenue of Hoa Binh Province is estimated at approximately VND 6,930 billion, achieving 183% of the Government’s target, 126% of the target assigned by the Provincial People's Council, and 145% compared to the same period last year.
