On behalf of the provincial leaders, Secretary of the provincial
Party Committee Bui Van Tinh wished the local business community a new year of good
health, happiness and success.
Underlining opportunities and challenges for the investors as well as the

to carry out rational measures to better local business climate, and work to
remove bottlenecks for the investors.

projects that have already received investment plan certificates.
Also, he laid stress on the organisation of investment promotion conferences
with businesses and strategic partners towards creating breakthroughs in local
socio-economic development in 2019 and the following years.

flags, 42 certificates of merit to outstanding businesses and cooperatives. The
committee also launched an emulation campaign among local business community under
the theme of "Promoting solidarity and accelerating business and production to
realise the province’s socio-economic development target in 2019”./.
The Standing Board of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee met on March 18 to review and guide major investment projects aimed at boosting local socio-economic development.
The air is thick with the hum of drills and the clatter of machinery as the Hoa Binh – Moc Chau expressway takes shape amid the rugged terrain. Welding sparks illuminate the faces of workers, and concrete mixers churn relentlessly, laying fresh pavement on the newly-carved road. The construction site buzzes with a palpable sense of urgency, particularly in Hoa Binh province where the expressway's future is being forged.
The northern province of Hoa Binh, with over 467,000 hectares of natural forest and more than 100,000 hectares of production forest, holds significant potential for carbon credit market development.
Replacing substandard houses with more sturdy ones by June 30 is the direction given by Nguyen Phi Long, alternate member of the Party Central Committee and Secretary of the Hoa Binh provincial Party Committee, at a meeting held in early March by the provincial Steering Committee for the programme to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses for the needy.
Recognising digital transformation as an inevitable trend, authorities and agencies in Hoa Binh have made great efforts in the work by focusing on three core pillars - digital government, digital society, and digital economy, resulting in enhanced competitiveness, improved investment climate, and ensured economic and social welfare.
In recent years, Da Bac district has improved administrative reform with a one-stop shop mechanism, streamlined inter-agency procedures, and a shift to digital platforms. These efforts have enhanced public service efficiency and contributed to local socio-economic development.
