(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./.
Maximizing local potential and advantages, Yen Tri commune in Yen Thuy district is actively promoting the cultivation of medicinal herbs and turning medicinal herbs into One Commune - One Product (OCOP) products.
Situated at the gateway to the Northwest, Hoa Binh province has a population of over 900,000, including about 540,000 of working age. It is home to 6,000 businesses and production facilities, providing employment for over 100,000 workers. The remaining workforce is engaged in informal jobs, works in enterprises outside the province, or contributes to agro-forestry-fisheries. Additionally, around 3,000 workers are employed abroad.
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.
In 2024, the total state budget revenue of Hoa Binh Province is estimated at approximately VND 6,930 billion, achieving 183% of the Government’s target, 126% of the target assigned by the Provincial People's Council, and 145% compared to the same period last year.
In 2024, Hoa Binh province has shown signs of improvement in attracting investment and developing enterprises.
