Since the beginning of the year, industrial production in the province has continued to face many difficulties, recovering slowly and achieving low growth rates. According to estimates, the industrial production index in 2024 is expected to increase by 4.35% compared to the same period last year (compared to the planned target of only 4.35%/11%).
Specifically, the mining sector increased by 1.86%; the manufacturing industry increased by 5.68%; electricity production and distribution increased by 3.27%; and water supply, waste management and wastewater treatment increased by 5.27%.
Regarding trade and services, the total retail sales of goods and services are estimated to reach VND 34,449 billion (planned VND 34,000 billion), an increase of 12.8% compared to the same period last year. Import and export turnover through the province in 2024 is estimated at USD 980 million, an increase of 25% compared to the same period last year.
According to the assessment of the Department of Industry and Trade's leaders, in the context of inflationary pressure from major economies, the price situation of goods in the area remains relatively stable, inflation is basically under control, and the average consumer price index in 2024 is estimated to increase by 4.1% compared to the same period last year.
Regarding the implementation of Resolution No. 39, to date, 16 industrial clusters have become operational in the province, attracting 175 investment projects with a total registered capital of approximately 4,680 billion VND; the total investment cost for the construction of industrial cluster infrastructure is approximately 261.9 billion VND, meeting about 35.6% of the total capital investment needs for industrial cluster technical infrastructure in the province.
Some current shortcomings and limitations include: most industrial clusters have not yet been invested in with a common wastewater drainage system (except for the Ai Tu Industrial Cluster in Trieu Phong district); the total investment capital needed to complete the infrastructure of industrial clusters in the province has not been met; and the socialization of investment in the construction and business of industrial cluster infrastructure in the province still faces many difficulties.
Following the direction of the Provincial People's Committee, the Department of Industry and Trade has taken the lead and coordinated with relevant agencies and units to advise on the development of a Resolution stipulating policies to support investment in the construction of technical infrastructure for industrial clusters in the province, replacing Resolution No. 39.
At the meeting, representatives from the Department of Industry and Trade reported on the procedures and necessity of issuing the resolution. They clearly stated that, given the extremely difficult financial situation of localities and the increasingly stringent requirements for industrial cluster infrastructure before attracting investment projects, while industrial clusters in the area are primarily funded by the state budget, adjusting the support levels in Resolution No. 39 is necessary and appropriate to the actual requirements. This will serve as a basis for districts, towns, and cities to develop and propose the allocation of medium-term public investment capital for the development of industrial cluster infrastructure in the 2026-2030 period.
Nguyen Dang Anh, Head of the Economic and Budget Committee of the Provincial People's Council, requested the Department of Industry and Trade to promptly incorporate the contents related to several indicators in the industrial and trade sectors. At the same time, he urged the Department to incorporate additional comments into the draft resolution stipulating policies to support investment in the construction of technical infrastructure for industrial clusters in the province, which the Department is currently advising the Provincial People's Committee on. This will allow for the completion of the draft resolution, which will then be submitted to the Economic and Budget Committee of the Provincial People's Council for compilation and finalization of the verification report, before being presented to the 28th session of the Provincial People's Council for consideration and decision.
