In 2023, the department well performed its tasks of consulting, proposing and organising the good implementation of socio-economic management mechanisms and policies, domestic and foreign investment, management of the use of official development assistance sources and preferential loans from donors, and non-governmental aid, and of bidding and business registration. It also contributed to the completion of the Hoa Binh master plan for the 2021 – 2030 period, with a vision to 2050.

Last year, the department coordinated with agencies and organisations to appraise and submit to the provincial People's Committee to decide on investment intentions for 25 projects; select investors of four projects whose investment policies were accepted in 2022, with a total registered capital of 4.33 trillion VND (177.5 million USD); and approve the adjustment of investment policies for 15 projects.

At the conference, delegates proposed the need for specific instructions on administrative procedures for implementing investment projects that use land; to accelerate the zoning and planning progress and improve the regional transport network to attract investors to the province; pay attention to developing vocational education and improving vocational skills for workers; and promote the role of leaders in encouraging locals to support investment projects in the province.

Speaking at the event, Liem asked the department to continue consulting on the building of an implementation plan for the Hoa Binh master plan, and complete planning-related database, improve the business and investment environment, solve difficulties and obstacles for businesses, speed up administrative reform by simplifying administrative procedures and shortening settlement time, and create favourable conditions for investors.

It is necessary to proactively consult the provincial People's Committee to examine the disbursement of public investment to promptly urge and inspect the implementation progress of non-budget investment projects to help remove difficulties and obstacles for businesses.

On this occasion, the Vice Chairman handed over certificates of merit of the Ministry of Planning and Investment, and awarded certificates of merit of the provincial People's Committee to collectives and individuals with outstanding achievements in emulation movements in 2022 - 2023.
