Rise up after the pandemic

In 2022, the province's economic growth rate will reach 8.46%; production and business activities gradually regained growth momentum

2022 is the year that has witnessed a spectacular breakthrough in the province's socio-economic development. Specifically, the economic growth rate reached 8.46%; production and business activities gradually regained growth momentum. Although this growth has not been as expected, it is a good growth after a period of heavy impact from the Covid-19 epidemic. That result shows that the province's socio-economic recovery and development policy has promoted positive effects.

In 2021, when the Covid-19 pandemic broke out and spread throughout the country, Long An was one of four southern localities in the "epidemic center". Many difficulties, challenges and consequences from the Covid-19 pandemic have slowed down the province's socio-economic development. However, with the mindset of "dare to think, dare to do, dare to take responsibility", the province has made important and breakthrough decisions. Long An is one of the first localities in the country to open its economy and restore production and business activities.

Immediately after controlling the Covid-19 epidemic, in early October 2021, the Provincial People's Committee proactively issued a plan to restore production and business activities. All businesses were allowed to resume operations when they met the requirements of epidemic prevention and control and coordinate with a number of provinces and cities in ensuring conditions for workers to travel between provinces and cities to work. In less than a month, 80% of enterprises in the province resumed operation; By the end of 2021, 100% of enterprises restored production and business activities.

With the motto of considering enterprises as the driving force and resource for the development process, along with restoring production and business activities, the Provincial People's Committee established a special working group to support and remove difficulties for businesse and people affected by the Covid-19 epidemic, led by the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee. As a result, plans, solutions and policies to support people and businesses are promptly issued by the province, creating motivation in the economic recovery process in 2022 with proud achievements.

Although there are still difficulties and challenges, with the determination of the entire Party Committee, government and people in the province, it is expected that in 2023, Long An will continue to have a stronger development step, creating an important stepping stone to complete the goals for the whole term, helping the province maintain its leading position in the Mekong Delta until 2025, and become a good province in the Southern Key Economic Region by 2030./.
