BREAKTHROUGH SOLUTIONS

Implementing the theme of 2025 set by the Government, the People's Committee of Gia Lai province has issued a Directive on emulation to successfully carry out the tasks of socio-economic development and ensuring national defense and security in 2025. The province requires all levels, sectors, units and localities to focus on successfully implementing the tasks set out in the Resolution of the 16th Provincial Party Congress; to innovate and reorganize the apparatus of the political system to be streamlined and operate effectively and efficiently in accordance with the direction of the Central Party Committee.

With the motto of action "Breakthrough - Decisive - Discipline - Creativity - Efficiency", the province has focused on directing all levels and sectors to identify difficulties and challenges, determine economic growth drivers; build growth scenarios for 2025 on a monthly and quarterly basis. Therein, focusing on renewing traditional growth drivers, strongly promoting new growth drivers; maximally mobilizing and effectively using resources for development.

Chairman of Gia Lai Provincial People's Committee Rah Lan Chung said that in order to achieve the growth target of 8-10%, in addition to public investment sources, there must be additional solutions to renew old motivation, remove obstacles and difficulties for businesses, and large projects must be implemented on schedule. Gia Lai province identified 4 main solutions to achieve the economic growth target in 2025: clearing bottlenecks, mobilizing the highest resources; reviewing unfinished projects to speed up the implementation progress and putting them into use; strongly promoting the contribution of people and businesses to non-budgetary investment projects; utilizing resources from the Central Government for public investment projects.

In 2025, the province aims to develop the agriculture, forestry and fishery sector by 4.9%, with a scale of over 4,000 billion VND.

To achieve the goal, the unit is strongly restructuring agriculture in line with advantages, market demand and adapting to climate change; promoting trade promotion activities, developing markets to connect more closely with the global consumption network; attaching importance to the application of science and technology, especially high technology, encouraging clean agricultural production, organic agriculture; developing multifunctional forestry, planting large timber forests, improving the level of ensuring the supply of raw wood for the processing industry; continuing to call for investment projects in agriculture, creating more favorable conditions for business development, cooperative economy; continuing to improve the capacity for natural disaster prevention and mitigation; reviewing and streamlining the organizational structure, rearranging and improving the efficiency of public service units; creating new momentum for developing modern and more effective agriculture and building new rural areas.

Director of the Department of Finance Do Viet Hung said that in order to achieve a growth rate of 8% or more by 2025, the province needs to mobilize more resources to increase total social investment capital by VND 200 billion (from VND 29,200 billion to VND 29,400 billion); accelerate disbursement of public investment capital from the beginning of the year; strengthen market confidence, strongly promote private investment, processing and manufacturing industry; the service industry strives to increase total state budget revenue in the area by VND 463 billion (from VND 6,435 billion to VND 6,898 billion); tourism revenue increases by VND 50 billion (from VND 950 billion to VND 1,000 billion).

According to the Department of Industry and Trade's calculations, to achieve a growth rate of 10.06%, in 2025, the electricity output in the area must reach 11,750 million kWh, an increase of 1,749 million kWh, an increase of 17.48% compared to the estimated implementation in 2024. To achieve this target, the province is directing the industry to actively work with the Ministry of Industry and Trade to implement procedures for project acceptance, grant operating licenses and negotiate selling prices to put 5 wind power projects with a capacity of 384 MW that have been completed into operation; at the same time, allow 5 solar power projects that have been approved for investment in the Plan to implement the Power Plan VIII to promote production and create a breakthrough growth momentum.
