is hoped to reach about 100 million VND (4,408 USD) per year.
Total social investment in the 2021-2025 period is to top 120 trillion VND,
equivalent to about 32 percent of its GRDP, with an average annual rise of 8.2
percent. In the five years, Hoa Binh expects 280 domestically-invested projects
worth about 80 billion VND and 30 foreign-invested projects with a combined
capital of about 1 billion USD.
In 2025, the rate of trained labourers is expected to reach about 63 percent,
while digital economy is hoped to make up about 20 percent to the GRDP.
