Provincial People’s Committee reviews the socioeconomic situation of the first 8 months of this year.

According to the report made by the Department of Planning and Investment, in the first 8 months of this year, the industrial production value is estimated to reach 32 thousand billion VND, fulfilling about 64% of the year target. Some industries with high growth rate are paper production, chemistry, building material, electronic devices. The mining and weaving industry have decreased from 12% to 18%. The reason for this reduction was the large amount of products in stock and low consumption of the market. Particularly, the production value of local state-owned enterprises has decreased 1% in comparison with that of the same period of last year, just fulfilling 55% of the year target.

As for culture and society situation, all functional departments and sectors have actively coordinated with each other to launch and implement many social policies to enhance the lives of local people. By the end of July, the province has loaned funds with the total amount of over 50 billion VND to poor households in the province. In August alone, over 61 thousands labors were offered jobs.

At the meeting, delegates have proposed many suggestions to the course of socioeconomic development in the province, discussed the draft on the process and procedures to destroy waste material as well as to offer some suggestions on the content of the 9th and 10th meeting of the 7th provincial People’s Council.
