Chairman of Hai Duong Provincial People's Committee Trieu The Hung affirmed that the province has successfully completed the socio-economic development tasks in the first 6 months of 2024.

According to the Department of Planning and Investment, in the first 6 months of 2024, the implementation of the province's socio-economic development tasks achieved a number of positive and outstanding results. The economy grew by 10%, higher than the set scenario (the scenario is estimated to increase by 8.22%). The province effectively implemented solutions to improve the investment and business environment, enhance provincial competitiveness, the province's PCI index in 2023 increased by 15 places, ranking 17th in the country.

The number of new enterprises increased slowly, only 4.2%, the number of enterprises returning to the market decreased by 1/3 compared to the same period last year.
