Strive for economic growth rate of 8-8.5%

Provincial People's Committee holds a meeting on solutions to promote economic growth in the last 6 months of 2024

According to the report of the Provincial People's Committee, the economic growth rate in the first 6 months of 2024 of the province is quite good compared to the same period in previous years, reaching 5.26%, of which, all 3 sectors have high growth rates: Primary sector is estimated to increase by 2.93% over the same period (same period increased by 3.71%); Secondary sector tends to recover with the growth rate increasing by 5.54% over the same period (same period increased by 3.54%); Tertiary sector continues to recover effectively from policies to stimulate domestic consumption, with estimated increase of 6.46% over the same period (same period increased by 3.87%).

Although the economic growth rate has improved, there are some limitations as the growth rate tends to increase slower than other localities in the Mekong Delta, ranked 11/13 provinces/cities in the Mekong Delta Region.

The conference also collected information from representatives of departments, branches and localities, and proposed a number of solution groups to promote growth in the remaining months of 2024, mainly focusing on overcoming and promoting growth in all 3 sectors; closely coordinating in carrying out statistical surveys; supporting units facing difficulties in production and business; etc.

Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee - Nguyen Van Ut requests that provincial and local departments, branches and localities be more drastic and determined to achieve the highest level of implementation.

To promote the achieved results and focus on overcoming limitations, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee - Nguyen Van Ut requested that provincial and local departments, branches and localities be more drastic and determined in implementation to achieve the highest level, in the spirit of striving for an economic growth rate of 8-8.5% according to the plan set out in 2024.

He suggested a number of key tasks that need to be focused on: In each region, sectors and localities must try and focus on coordinating and implementing well according to scenarios and plans; further accelerate disbursement of public investment capital; calculate and develop general forms, reports, etc on FDI capital disbursement progress to capture and monitor. The Department of Industry and Trade fully evaluates the total level of retail sales, traditional markets, and coordinates to better manage trading on social networking platforms; advises the Provincial People's Committee to promptly remove obstacles and difficulties for businesses, especially ineffective production and business units in the first months of 2024; etc.

The Provincial Statistics Department along with the Department of Planning and Investment must actively coordinate with provincial departments, branches, local People's Committees, and the General Statistics Office in providing information and data to calculate economic growth rates of the province's economy each quarter and the whole year 2024; ensure that the data provided to calculate growth must fully and promptly reflect the province's economic and social development; promptly change survey samples that are no longer suitable, design uniform samples, and apply digital transformation to sample surveys. All departments and branches must support with data to serve common work; etc./.
