The northern province of Hung Yen will continue to stabilise its economy while accelerating public investment reform and ensuring social welfare, a meeting to review provincial socio-economic development in 2015 heard on July 31.
The province will implement agricultural reforms and devise a mechanism to encourage enterprises to invest in the agricultural sector and rural areas. It also plans to focus on building rural style new areas, helping an additional 20 communes to meet the set of criteria, including infrastructure development, production capacity and environmental protection.
Comprehensive solutions have been addressed to remove barriers to investment, to promote the equitisation of state-owned enterprises and to boost infrastructure investment, attracting universities to the Pho Hien (Hien Street) student quarter.
In addition, the province will control bad debts and adjust land planning by the end of 2020, while tackling environment pollution in industrial zones located in My Hao, Van Lam, Yen My and Kim Dong districts.
In the first six months of this year, the provincial economy grew by 7.55 percent and exports reached 1.4 billion USD. The province attracted 50 new projects and an additional 53 projects became operational, creating jobs for 3,500 workers.
To date, 18 communes have been recognised as new-style rural areas.-VNA
