With the determination to grow over 10% in 2024, the 10th consecutive year, achieving a decade of double-digit growth, Quang Ninh is urgently adjusting the growth scenario based on closely following actual conditions and needs, in accordance with the development process of each industry and each locality.

After 7 months of implementing the socio-economic development tasks in 2024, although the pillars of economic growth, namely processing and manufacturing industry; public investment, non-budgetary investment; services - tourism... are all ensured according to the scenario plan built at the beginning of the year, the development potential of Quang Ninh has not been fully exploited compared to the opportunities and potentials; some bottlenecks and difficulties have revealed many inadequacies.

Specifically, in the processing and manufacturing industry, although it increased by 34.81% in the first 7 months of the year, only 5/16 products achieved and exceeded the growth scenario, while the remaining 11/16 products did not meet the schedule. In addition, domestic budget revenue only reached 51% of the estimate, not reaching the average collection rate according to the scenario; the disbursement rate is still low; credit growth increased by only 4.4% compared to the end of 2023, showing that the demand for capital absorption in the economy is still weak... This is creating great pressure on economic sectors in the last months of the year, requiring Quang Ninh to have a clear view and timely and appropriate solutions to resolve bottlenecks and exploit existing space.

Closely following the directions from the Provincial Party Committee, Provincial People's Council, especially Resolution No. 20-NQ/TU (dated November 27, 2023) of the Provincial Party Committee on the direction and tasks for 2024 with specific targets such as: Ensuring annual growth of over 10%, the 10th consecutive year, achieving a decade of double-digit growth; state budget revenue of no less than VND 55,600 billion; total social investment capital increases by over 10%, focusing on attracting FDI capital of at least 3 billion USD; total tourists for the year reach over 17 million arrivals...

At the regular meeting of the Provincial People's Committee held at the end of July, Mr. Cao Tuong Huy, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, requested relevant agencies and units to review and adjust the growth scenario, ensuring actual conditions and needs, in line with the development process of each sector and each locality on the basis of closely following the resolutions and conclusions of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial People's Council. In particular, focusing on growth pillars, exploiting, using and promoting all potentials, strengths, resources, promoting in-depth and sustainable development.

On that basis, the growth scenario has been adjusted by the Provincial People's Committee; an action program on specific tasks and solutions for each month has also been developed; tasks, responsibilities and specific implementation time have been clearly assigned to each unit and locality with a consistent and key spirit: Focusing on promoting economic restructuring associated with growth model innovation; closely following the driving forces of industrial parks and economic zones; heritage economy; urban economy, digital economy; dynamism, innovation, effectiveness and efficiency of the public sector and maximizing the synchronous and modern transport infrastructure system, promoting inter-regional and international cooperation and connectivity...

For economic sectors, the increase will be adjusted in almost all fields to ensure the target of GRDP growth rate of 12.02% in the third quarter and 12.85% in the fourth quarter, ensuring the target of GRDP growth for the whole year is 10.9%. In particular, the industrial - construction zone will increase by 9.38%; the service area will increase by 14.86%; product tax will increase by 8.53%, total social investment capital will reach 109,358 billion VND. In particular, with the advantage that the locality is having great attraction in tourism development when effectively implementing many new products and services associated with improving quality. Therefore, the tourist attraction scenario of Quang Ninh in 2024 is adjusted to welcome 19 million visitors, an increase of more than 2 million compared to the resolution and plan in the first phase of the year.

The development perspective ensures that the province's growth target will be closely linked to cultural and human development through the effective implementation of policies to ensure social security and improve social welfare, especially for policy beneficiaries, meritorious people, people in remote areas, ethnic minority areas, border areas, islands, and disadvantaged areas.

With specific solutions, the initiative and determination of Party committees at all levels, the government and people in the province... in the final months of the year, the set targets and plans will certainly be completed by the province. This will be a new record in the development period of a typical province, leading the country in many fields, a bright spot in innovation in the Northern Delta region, a growth pole in the Northern region as what the late General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong congratulated and praised during his visit to the province in April 2022.
