According to Chairman of the provincial Business Association Nguyen Cao Son, in
recent years, the province has focused on developing a synchronous transport
system; attracting investment in many important and potential areas such as the
national tourist area of the Da River, and eco-resorts and hot mineral water
springs in Lac Son and Kim Boi districts.
Last year, the local authorities approved and granted investment certificates
to 44 projects with a total registered capital of about 34.24 trillion VND,
surging by 208.4% compared to the amount of investment capital recorded in
2020.
Due to the sudden increase in investment projects, while the qualifications of
local officials and civil servants remained limited, so the settlement of
administrative documents and procedures has not yet met requirements of
investors, Son said.
In 2022, under the drastic direction of the provincial Party Committee and
People's Committee, since the beginning of the year, directive documents on
improving the investment and business environment and improving the PCI have
been issued.
Departments, sectors, districts and Hoa Binh city have developed plans and
carried out activities to improve component indicators.
The province has attracted many big investors such as Vingroup, Sun Group, Hoa
Phat, Geleximco, La Vong, Phu My Hung, Phu My, Lac Hong and Ho
Guom.
Many transport projects have been developed, including regional transport
projects approved by the National Assembly, contributing to promoting
socio-economic development of the province.
To further improve the PCI, the provincial People’s Council has proposed a
series of solutions, focusing on strengthening coordination in handling
procedures and documents between departments, sectors and localities;
elaborating master plans, and zoning and detailed plans as the basis for
implementing and proposing investment projects; supporting digital
transformation in businesses; and promoting the operation of investment and
development funds, and credit guarantee funds for small and medium-sized
enterprises.
In Hoa Binh province, 11 traditional craft villages with more than 400 small-scaled production households have put in place a clean and green production model, establishing new standards for sustainable development. Waste collection sites and wastewater treatment facilities have been meticulously managed by local residents.
To make it easier for the residents to handle administrative procedures, Yen Bong Commune (Lac Thuy District) has identified the administrative reform as one of its key tasks. By implementing a range of synchronized solutions, the commune has seen the positive changes in the administrative reform, meeting the needs of its people.
Mai Chau district has firmly established itself as a standout destination on Vietnam’s tourism map, attracting both domestic and international visitors with its breathtaking landscapes, rich ethnic culture, and warm hospitality. However, beyond its natural and cultural charm, a secure and well-managed tourism environment has added to Mai Chau’s appeal.
As Vietnam enters a new phase of economic and administrative reform in 2025, Hoa Binh province is stepping up its efforts to streamline governance, boost economic growth, and attract investment.
The Hoa Binh provincial People's Committee held its monthly meeting on March 26 to review the progress of key projects, assess budget revenue and public investment disbursement, provide feedback on draft documents for submission to the provincial Party Committee's Standing Board, and discuss other important matters related to the committee's governance activities.
Playing a key role in Hoa Binh province’s economic development, Luong Son district has been focusing on science and technology development, innovation, and digital transformation.
