(HBO) – The Hoa Binh People’s Committee on January 7 organised a regular meeting to discuss the province’s socio-economic development and its governance. The meeting was chaired by Bui Van Khanh, Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party’s Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee.

According to reports delivered at the event, site clearance in a number of major projects lagged behind schedules set by the chairman of the provincial People’s Committee while many commercial housing projects saw slow progress. The pace of public investment disbursement also failed to meet expectation. By December 20, 2021, Hoa Binh had disbursed nearly 2.55 trillion VND, equivalent to 73 percent of the yearly plan set by the Prime Minister and 67 percent of that set by the People’s Committee.
In January 2022, the People’s Committee requested its units to strengthen supervision of public administration reforms, and progress and effectiveness of duty performances; and to accelerate public investment disbursement. The province aims to disburse 100 percent of the public investment by the end of this month.
Concluding the event, Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Bui Van Khanh asked departments and local administrations to give the highest priority to public investment disbursement to fulfill the goal by the end of January.
They must also pay more attention to completing site clearance, particularly in key projects, he said, adding that specific deadlines must be assigned for each project to achieve highest results in order to boost the province’s socio-economic development.
As the province’s daily caseload of COVID-19 exceeds 100, including many community infections, Khanh ordered districts and communes to better raise public awareness of the importance of adherence to the pandemic rules. They must also keep records of unvaccinated residents so as to quickly increase the vaccination coverage, he stressed./.
In Lac Thuy district, communes have been succeeded in promoting their One Commune-One Product (OCOP) products while others are still struggling to position their typical farming products in market. Some communes in the district still fail to have their products met OCOP programme’s requirements, while others have seen their certifications expired.
The inspectorate agency of Hoa Binh province has issued Official Dispatch No. 1090/TTr-PCTN to provincial departments, agencies, localities, business associations, enterprises, and investors regarding measures to improve informal component indexes of the Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI).
Hoa Binh is taking concrete steps to improve its investment environment, with a strong focus on supporting businesses, settling obstacles for strategic investors, and creating opportunities for robust development in the coming years.
