The Prime Minister applauded the province’s 10.8 percent GDP growth in the first half of the year compared to the same period last year.

He required the provincial authorities to speed up investment in Nhon Hoi Economic Zone and seaports to help the province develop quickly and sustainably.

He asked Binh Dinh province to control inflation to stablise the economy, ensure social welfare and maintain sustainable growth by pushing up production and exports in the second half of the year.

The provincial People’s Committee needed to solve problems relating to enterprise production loans and investment attraction policies, especially export barriers, to reduce costs and raise the province’s competitiveness, said the PM.

The province should tighten control over prices while ensuring residential stability through poverty reduction and job promotion programmes, he added.
