Many positive growth indicators
The bright spot in socio-economic development in the first 6 months of the year was the impressive growth of the trade - service - tourism industries. There are some "talking" figures such as: export turnover increased by 27%, retail sales and consumer services increased by nearly 19%, tourist arrivals doubled in the same period last year.

Mr. Tran Thanh Binh - Director of Ha Tinh Statistical Office analyzed: "The province's GRDP in the first 6 months of 2023 reached 5,02%, higher than the national average (the whole country reached 3,72%), with the major contribution from the service and construction-industry sectors. In particular, the service industry grew quite well thanks to the effectiveness of consumer demand stimulus policies, and the COVID-19 epidemic was controlled. The construction sector has grown strongly thanks to high volume projects such as the North-South Expressway Project, Vung Ang II Thermal Power Plant, which are focused on speeding up progress.
The agricultural industry won with the joy of farmers when the spring rice crop achieved its highest yield ever, high fishing output and stable livestock production. Although the industrial sector is still facing difficulties due to the fact that the troubleshooting of Unit 1 - Vung Ang 1 Thermal Power Plant has not been completed, it has also received prosperity when many businesses (DN) performed better and a number of projects were started.

Results in 3 months, disbursement rate reached 6% of the plan, higher than the same period and higher than the national average. In addition, the work of site clearance and resettlement of the North-South expressway project in the section passing Ha Tinh was focused on and was highly appreciated by the Central Government. Tax, credit, and recovery support policies continue to be effective. The implementation of the pilot project to build the province up to NTM standards continues to be implemented.

Resources for socialization to effectively implement sustainable poverty reduction policies, support the construction of houses for people with meritorious services and disadvantaged households; building community houses to avoid storms and floods ... also give "sweet fruits" in the first months of the year.
However, besides the bright spots, the socio-economic development tasks in the first 6 months of the year also had results that were not as expected. Due to both objective and subjective reasons, a number of important indicators were even lower than the same period last year, such as industrial production, number of newly established enterprises, and budget revenue.
