On the morning of October 16, comrade Nguyen Van Thi, member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, Permanent Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee chaired a conference to listen to a report on the implementation results of the Nghi Son Economic Zone and Industrial Parks Development Program (KKTNS&CKCN) for the period 2021-2025.

Attending the conference were comrade Nguyen Tien Hieu, member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, Head of the Provincial Economic Zone and Industrial Park Management Board, and representatives of relevant departments, branches and localities.

The Program for Development of Industrial Zones and Industrial Parks for the 2021-2025 period is facing many difficulties and challenges due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is rapidly evolving, complicated, unpredictable, and global political and security instability, causing high prices of gasoline and raw materials, disrupting the supply chain, etc., seriously affecting production, employment, people's lives, and the situation of attracting investment in construction.

However, the tasks in the Program for Development of Industrial Zones and Industrial Parks for the period 2021-2025 have been actively implemented by the Management Board of Industrial Zones and Industrial Parks, departments, branches, and local Party Committees and authorities and achieved many positive results. The value of industrial production, services and trade is estimated at 1,255,075 billion VND; the export value is estimated at 20,613 million USD; the budget revenue is estimated at 123,501 billion VND, additional jobs are estimated at 101,473 people; the total mobilized capital of the whole society is estimated at 162,378 billion VND; investment in industrial park infrastructure is estimated at 832 hectares; attracting new investment of 613 million USD in foreign investment and 104,878 billion VND in domestic investment; completing site clearance is estimated at 2,318 hectares; The average occupancy rate of industrial parks in Nghi Son Economic Zone is 35%, Le Mon industrial parks 100%, Dinh Huong - Tay Bac Ga 95%, Hoang Long (phase 1) 100%, Bim Son 65%; Lam Son - Sao Vang 5%, Thach Quang 6.6%.

In the period of 2021-2025, the Economic Zone and Industrial Parks have many large projects, plans, and approved plans; many institutions, mechanisms, and policy regulations have been amended and promptly issued... A number of projects have been inaugurated and put into operation and many essential infrastructure works are being implemented, and key investment projects need to speed up construction progress.

Along with that, the NS&CKCN Economic Zone has called for and attracted a number of large, key projects, such as: Thanh Hoa I Solar Power Plant with a total investment of 2,824 billion VND; Billion Union Vietnam Fabric Factory with a total investment of 70 million USD; Investment in infrastructure of Dong Vang Industrial Park with a total investment of 2,400 billion VND, DST Nghi Son Steel Rolling Mill with a total investment of 5,500 billion VND; Dai Duong High-Tech Reinforced Concrete Components Factory with a total investment of 1,099 billion VND; Nghi Son LNG Gas Power Plant with a total estimated capital of about 58,026 billion VND (equivalent to about 2,453 million USD); Phu Quy Industrial Park with a total investment of 55 million USD, Giang Quang Thinh with a total investment of 53 million USD, the West of Thanh Hoa City with a total investment of 122 million USD; Vietnam - India high-tech pharmaceuticals with a total investment of 62 million USD; Dai Duong 3 Cement Factory with a total investment of 5,990 billion VND; Nghi Son North Wharf expansion with a total investment of 14,119 billion VND...

However, besides the achieved results, there are still limitations, such as: some indicators are still low; large-scale projects have not been attracted, the number of foreign investment projects is still low; the progress of investment in infrastructure projects of industrial parks in Nghi Son Economic Zone and industrial parks in the province is still slow...

At the conference, delegates analyzed the shortcomings and limitations that have caused some targets to not be achieved, such as: attracting investment; mobilizing social investment capital; investing in industrial park infrastructure; exporting; industrial production value, services - trade. Technical infrastructure of economic zones, industrial parks, and seaports has been invested but has not met development needs. It is difficult to attract investment projects to do business in industrial park infrastructure in Nghi Son Economic Zone; approved industrial park infrastructure projects are slow to implement, investment is not synchronous. Not many direct investment projects have been attracted; many projects are still behind schedule.

Along with that, delegates also proposed solutions to maximize potential and advantages, mobilize and effectively use resources to build and develop industrial parks in the province.

Concluding the conference, Permanent Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Van Thi requested the Management Board of the Economic Zone and Industrial Park to receive opinions from units and localities in writing and at the conference, complete the report, and more deeply evaluate the results achieved. At the same time, clarify the shortcomings, limitations, difficulties and challenges in the implementation of the Economic Zone and Industrial Park Development Program for the period 2021-2025.

Along with that, it sets out key tasks and solutions in the coming period in a more profound and specific manner, aiming to develop green and clean industrial parks according to international standards; assess the financial capacity of investors affected by the impacts of the domestic and international markets...

Build a development strategy that is close to the reality of the Industrial Parks and Industrial Parks in the current period. Maximize the potential and advantages, mobilize and effectively use resources to build and develop industrial parks in the province with a synchronous and modern infrastructure system, create favorable conditions to attract investment, increase the occupancy rate of industrial parks, and create growth poles for the province's economy.
