Hung Yen, like other cities and provinces in the country, has faced great difficulties since early this year due to complicated developments in regional and world political and economic situation greatly affecting the global supply chain and pushing up materials and fuel prices.
However, under the strong leadership of the provincial Party Committee, People’s Council and People’s Committee and with great efforts of local residents and business community, Hung Yen recorded positive socioeconomic results in the first half of this year. The gross regional domestic product (GRDP) of the province expanded 8.21% in the period.
As such, Hung Yen maintained its place among localities with highest growth rates, ranking 7th among 63 provinces and centrally-run cities in the country and 4th in the Red River Delta region.
Delegates at the 14th session of the 17th-tenure People’s Council urged attention to outstanding issues such as unstable prices and supply of construction materials, incomplete planning of the local irrigation network, the slow construction of workers’ housing projects, and the conservation of historical and cultural relics./.
