Le Thanh Hai, secretary of the HCM City Party Committee, has said the
city will try its best to attain an annual GDP growth rate of 12 percent
during the 2011-15 period.
In a political report delivered at the 9th Party Congress of HCM City, Hai said the city targeted an annual value-added growth of 13 percent for its service sector; 11 percent for the manufacturing sector and 5 percent for agriculture.
Hai said in 2015, the service, industrial and agricultural sectors would account for 57, 42 and 1 percent of the city's GDP, respectively.
Other targets contained in the report include maintaining the city's birth rate at less than 1.1 percent per annum.
By the end of 2015, per capital income in the city will reach 4,800 USD compared with 2,800 USD in 2010.
The city will create 120,000 new jobs every year compared with nearly 118,000 per year in the 2006-10 period.
Hai also said that by the end of 2015, skilled workers would make up 70 percent of the city's workforce.
The number of families under the poverty line of 12 million VND/person/year would drop to below 2 percent of the city's population, he said.
By the end of the next five-year plan, the city's doctor-patient ratio would be 15 for every 10,000 residents.
The number of households in urban areas accessing clean water would reach 98 percent.
The city targets building 39 million square metres of new housing, raising the per capita housing area in the city to 17 sq.m in 2015 from 14.3sq. m in 2009.
Hai said 100 percent of solid waste and wastewater generated by city enterprises would be collected and treated by the end of the next five-year plan period, and all industrial parks and export processing zones without exception would have central wastewater treatment systems.
He added that the city would pay a lot of attention to envionmental protection by promoting green production and improving development quality.
It would also give priority to developing its service sectors including financial, banking, commerce, transportation, post and telecommunications, warehousing and port services.
Due attention would be paid to the development of the ITC, real estate and tourism industries, as well as the health, and education and training sectors, Hai said.
The city would focus on developing public transportation, including urban railway projects, expressways and beltways to connect the city with the Mekong Delta and other localities in the country, he added.
Authorities would spare no effort to curb traffic jams and prevent flooding. A programme covering 100sq.km had been mapped out to stop flooding in inner districts and to prevent flooding elsewhere.
The city would continue its efforts to create a level playing field for companies from different economic sectors and to assist small- and medium-sized enterprises to access loans, technology and new markets, Hai said./.
