Many localities have made spectacular breakthroughs
According to reports from the Southeast provinces, many key economic indicators have been achieved and exceeded the set progress in the first months of the year. In Dong Nai, the financial sector recorded an estimated industrial production index increase of over 9%, total retail sales of goods and consumer service revenue reached nearly 143,000 billion VND (up more than 17%). Export turnover exceeded 10.8 billion USD (up more than 16%), imports were nearly 7.6 billion USD (up more than 14%). Total state budget revenue reached over 31,700 billion VND, reaching 53% of the year's estimate.

Industrial production (excluding oil and gas) increased by more than 11.6%, administrative reform continued to hold the leading position in the region.
In smaller provinces such as Tay Ninh and Binh Phuoc, the growth picture is also very positive. Tay Ninh's budget revenue reached 6,575 billion VND, with export turnover of nearly 2.8 billion USD. Binh Phuoc achieved impressive growth when budget revenue in the first 4 months of the year increased by 38%...
All in, speeding to the finish line
Despite achieving positive results, the Southeast provinces also seriously pointed out the "bottlenecks" that need to be promptly resolved, such as: The disbursement rate of public investment capital is still low; Planning and infrastructure investment in industrial parks are still slow, some provinces have not successfully organized auctions of land plots planned for industrial - urban - service development; Digital transformation and innovation have not met the requirements of rapid and strong development...
Faced with existing challenges, localities are focusing on implementing a series of specific solutions to realize the double-digit growth target in 2025. In Dong Nai, Chairman of Dong Nai Provincial People's Committee Vo Tan Duc requested departments, branches and localities to focus on removing limitations such as slow disbursement, difficulties in planning and land auctions, unsatisfactory digital transformation, and slow implementation of social housing projects and new industrial parks. Mr. Duc emphasized: "Growth of over 11% per quarter in the remaining quarters is a mandatory task to achieve the common goal. This is not only an economic target but also a political responsibility".
In Binh Duong, Chairman of the Binh Duong Provincial People's Committee Vo Van Minh highly appreciated the results of the first 6 months of the year, especially in the industrial and service sectors. Binh Duong Province is completing the transfer of investment capital to key projects, creating a premise for growth in the coming years. At the same time, the Chairman of Binh Duong Province requested agencies to maintain the growth momentum, arrange work, organize the administrative apparatus after the merger reasonably, and not interrupt operations.
Regarding Ba Ria - Vung Tau, Chairman of the People's Committee of Ba Ria - Vung Tau province Nguyen Van Tho suggested continuing to focus on key tasks: organizing and arranging a new political apparatus model according to the Central's requirements; removing difficulties for businesses; attracting investment and expanding production capacity. Ba Ria - Vung Tau province is also carefully preparing reports and submissions for the Provincial People's Council meeting, ensuring progress and quality.
With the foundation consolidated in the first half of the year, if solutions are implemented synchronously, systematically and practically, localities in the region are fully capable of reaching impressive goals by the end of the year. The dynamism, proactiveness and innovation of the Southeast provinces are the “key” to leading the Vietnamese economy to overcome challenges and achieve sustainable growth in the new era.
