HBO - In the first quarter of 2019, considerable reforms were made in leadership and management of the whole political system of Hoa Binh province, and all-level authorities and sectors have joined together to realise socio-economic development tasks for this year.
Thanks to the province’s efforts, positive signs have been recorded in
different spheres, including stable socio-economic development and good
year-on-year growth in some sectors. Notably, the gross regional domestic
product (GRDP) grew by 8.63 percent in Q1.
While agricultural production has kept
developing, spring crop schedules have been fulfilled. The province has put
animal epidemics under control, helping livestock farming recover.
It has also pushed ahead with agricultural
restructuring and new-style rural area building, gaining positive results.
Sixty-three communes in Hoa Binh have obtained the new-style rural area status.
Particularly, Hoa Binh city also gained this status, making the province the
first in the northwestern region to have a district-level locality named
new-style rural area.

Hoa Binh posted fair growth in its industrial
production, whose value was estimated at 8.68 trillion VND (over 374.3 million
USD). Businesses, especially foreign invested ones, still report stable and
developing performance with total export value rising 17.43 percent from a year
earlier. The province collected 838 billion VND for the State budget.
Additionally, many projects have been launched or completed on schedule.
Meanwhile, improvements have also been recorded
in social and cultural aspects. Hoa Binh has been working to tap into its
tourism potential in order to attract more visitors from both inside and
outside of the province. The number of travellers to local tourist sites has
continued surging, reaching 1.1 million, helping the province earn about 600
billion VND in tourism revenue.
In 2018, Hoa Binh climbed four places in the Provincial
Competitiveness Index rankings compared to the previous year. Many sub-indexes were
strongly improved, particularly the one on provincial authorities’ dynamism.
The provincial administration is demanding
relevant sectors to drastically carry out solutions to improve the local
investment and business climate and support the implementation of key
projects./.

The Hoa Binh provincial People's Committee has issued Decision No. 2767/QD-UBND announcing the rankings of departments, agencies, districts and Hoa Binh city in the Public Administration Reform Index (PAR) and the Satisfaction Index of Public Administration Services (SIPAS) in 2024.
The cultivation of Dam Xanh fish (Bangana lemassoni), a unique fish species, has seen remarkable growth in Mai Chau district, thanks to its high economic value and effectiveness. Initially concentrated in Van Mai commune, farming has now extended to four other communes, namely Mai Hich, Mai Ha, Chieng Chau, and Son Thuy. These areas benefit from pristine underground water flowing from mountain crevices, providing ideal conditions for raising this specialty fish.
