a. Achievements:

The province’s economy maintain growth (up 7.14% over the same period), although the growth rate was lower than the target set by the resolution of the provincial People's Council, but higher than average rate of the nation (The growth rate of the nation in the first quarter was 3.1%, and expected to be between 3.8% and 4.2%) Value of industrial production increased over the same period (up 7.15%).

Agriculture focused on winter-spring crops and regular prevention of diseases in breeding, so bird flu, blue ear pig disease and foot and mouth disease in cattle were controlled.

Disbursement of investment capital from the provincial budget was focused. Six months saw around 40% of the plan disbursed, up 45.6% over the same period, showing the great effort made by investors and contractors.

Cultural and social sectors have achieved encouraging results: cultural, music and sports activities took place lively throughout the province, somewhat meeting the demand for cultural enjoyment of the people, especially people in remote and deep-lying areas and ethnic minorities. Besides, job settlement was concerned. In six months 53,318 workers were provided with jobs, reaching 62.7% of the year’s plan, 7337 of who were given new jobs after losing their old ones.

b. Shortcomings:

World economic decline had no signs of recovery, greatly affecting the export market of enterprises in Dong Nai, so export value in the first 6 months was lower than planned and than the same period, which means also affect production and consumption.

Investment attraction in manufacturing industry was not as much as expected due to economic recession and inopportune investment in sewage treatment works by some of industrial zones

The compensation for ground clearance and resettlement meets with a number of complaints, making the clearance much more slowly so affecting the progress of projects (especially projects outside industrial parks).

Environmental pollution continues to occur because some of industrial parks have not built concentrated wastewater treatment plants, a number of projects in the field of industrial manufacturing have not ensured a good reporting on environmental impact assessment and lots of urban areas do not have any waste water treatment stations.

2. Impacts on the results of 6 months and 2009:

a. Advantages:

World economic situation tends to be more positive.

The government has Resolution 30/2008/NQ-CP on December 11, 2008 on urgent measures to prevent economic recession, maintaining economic growth, ensuring social security. In the Resolution, economic stimulus policy, business support and a number of preferential policies for enterprises are issued, thereby creating conditions for enterprises to maintain production.

Leaders at all levels and of all sectors in the province focused on directing and implementing Resolution 30/2008/NQ-CP and new policies and guidelines of the Government; the Business Support Board was established from provincial level to district level to timely grasp the situation and handle difficulties and problems of businesses.

Investment attraction: investment projects in the nation granted certificates of investment in the first six months increased over the same period. Although registered capital from foreign investment in six months was not high (due to incompletion of investment certificate application dossiers of some projects), foreign investor’s attention was maintained. In the first 6 months, a number of enterprises have come to the province and found out about investment environment and applied for investment policy then. Investors are particularly interested in investment in such fields as technical facilities, health care, training...

Facing with difficulties in export markets, businesses managed to sell their products in the nation by, for example, launching campaign “Using Vietnamese Goods” so quite a lot of businesses can still maintain their production to date.

b. Difficulties:

Though the world economy has tended to be more positive, it is complex and unpredictable.

Facing this, the government has promulgated Resolution No.30/2008/NQ-CP on December 11, 2008 on urgent measures to prevent decline and maintain growth of the economy, ensuring social security and province’s leaders have directed the concerned agencies to implement the Resolution. However, Due to its own features, Dong Nai’s industrial products are mainly for export, which means signing of export contracts were fraught with difficulties, affecting by the economic recession. Quite a lot of businesses were not able to sign export contracts and if they could, the contracts did not gain high target as before.

Domestic market was fiercely competitive with imported goods so production sharply decreased (output of paper industry dropped nearly 50%).

Because production sectors decreased their output, output of power sector also dropped in turn

Many enterprises in the province ran into such a lot of difficulties that they had no choice but to stop production or reduce production output. For example, in industrial zones, four businesses have stopped operating, two companies applied for winding up before time limit, 69 businesses reduced their 9337 employees and 8 projects applied for extension of investment progress. Enterprises outside Izs also experienced not fewer obstacles like Duballo (Tam Phuoc Commune), Toscavina (Tam Hiep, Bien Hoa) whose owners have ran away and the province is handling the consequences. For domestic enterprises, production and business situation also encountered many difficulties, resulting in application for revenues reduction in 2009 by a large number of state enterprises
