The level of economic concentration in a few key regions has led to a large difference in economic scale (GRDP) regardless of the area size between provinces and cities.
Therefore, there are provinces with small or very small areas, mainly in the plains, that have more advantages for economic development , while mountainous localities have large areas but very modest GRDP scale.
The province has the smallest area in the country in terms of GRDP in the Top 10
Statistics from Tuoi Tre Online show that there are three localities with an area of less than 1,000km2 , but have a GRDP at a fairly good level. Including Bac Ninh with an area of 822.7km2 ; Ha Nam: 862km2 ; Hung Yen: 930km2 .
In this group, Bac Ninh is the province with the smallest area in the country, but has the largest economic scale (GRDP) with 232,000 billion VND; followed by Hung Yen with 159,844 billion VND; Ha Nam has a GRDP scale of 56,116 billion VND.
From the level of over 1,000 to under 2,000km2 , there are provinces and cities including: Vinh Long; Hau Giang; Can Tho; Ba Ria - Vung Tau; Vinh Phuc; Thai Binh; Ninh Binh; Nam Dinh; Hai Phong; Hai Duong; Da Nang.
Among these localities, there are three centrally-governed cities. Of which, Hai Phong has the largest GRDP scale with 445,995 billion VND; followed by Da Nang with 151,307 billion VND and Can Tho with 133,064 billion VND.
