Realizing the country's strong aspiration to rise in the new era and clearly understanding the responsibility of a capital city, the growth engine of the province, Ha Long City is determined to achieve economic growth of 18.8% in 2025 (an increase of 2% compared to the target approved in Resolution No. 88-NQ/TU of the City Party Committee on directions and tasks in 2025).
According to the new growth scenario, the value of agricultural, forestry and fishery production will increase by 9.5%; industry and construction will increase by 17.1%; and services will increase by 23%. Total social investment capital will increase by over 10%.
To realize the set goals, right from the beginning of the year, the city leaders have continuously met and worked directly with major domestic investors such as Vingroup, BIM Group, Thanh Cong Group, IGGHALONG Joint Stock Company, Global Financial Investment Consulting Joint Stock Company... and foreign investors from Japan, China... to listen, share and resolve difficulties and problems in the process of enterprises implementing projects as well as the wishes of enterprises for researching, learning and investing in new projects.
Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Lam, Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee, said: For Ha Long City, the biggest growth driver is identified as public investment and attracting non-budgetary investment. Particularly for non-budgetary capital investment, the city currently has 182 projects under implementation and 37 new projects. To speed up the progress of these projects, the city is closely following the provincial authorities for 22 land plots for project bidding, 15 land plots for land use rights auction; guiding investors to submit policies to receive land use rights transfer for 11 agricultural production development projects, waste recycling projects. Especially ensuring that Thanh Cong Automobile Factory goes into production as scheduled. Through working with investors, if the above difficulties are resolved soon, the capital source that the city can "absorb" in the coming time will be very large. For example, the Green Ha Long Project with an investment capital of over 10 billion USD, when the project is no longer stuck, it will be completed in just 3 years, thereby leading to dozens of other satellite projects. Or as BIM Group also committed, if the 5 projects the Group is implementing in the city go smoothly, in 2025-2026 alone, the Group will invest about 18,500 billion VND for these 5 projects.
For 114 public investment projects this year, the city has identified the resolution of bottlenecks and bottlenecks affecting disbursement progress such as site clearance, planning, land sources, etc. as a key task of the entire political system. Up to now, 12 projects have been completed and are completing procedures for handover and putting into use; 3 projects are under construction, expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2025; 4 projects have approved final settlement and project settlement in the first quarter of 2025; 78 projects are under construction, ensuring progress; 14 projects are stuck with site clearance, adjustment of investment policies, adjustment of investment projects; 3 projects are expected to start construction in April 2025.
For projects that are stuck, the city has also reviewed and divided them into groups to take timely measures. Specifically, for the group of projects that are delayed due to procedures, based on the approved planning of the subdivisions, the city will speed up the establishment and approval of detailed plans as a basis for project implementation; the group that is stuck with land acquisition and clearance will propose appropriate solutions through adjusting the scale of project implementation, operating the enforcement process, etc.; the group that completes the infrastructure will focus on removing and completely handling problems related to the source of land for filling, mineral exploitation, and connection of electricity and water infrastructure, etc. The city's goal is to strive to shorten the progress of the projects by about 30%.
In the service sector, to ensure an increase of up to 23%, the city will organize a variety of activities, events, and festivals to attract tourists all year round, stimulating tourism demand according to the "Ha Long - Festival City" project. At the same time, focus on solutions to increase the average spending of tourists, focusing on international visitors with high spending levels, thereby increasing total tourism service revenue through upgrading traditional tourism events and activities that have become brands (Ha Long Carnival), developing new and attractive tourism products such as hot air balloon sightseeing, sightseeing cruises, building a Ha Long culinary map, and accelerating the Aeon Mall Ha Long commercial center project. From there, aim to attract 11.5 million tourists with a total revenue of over VND 26,500 billion in this field.
In the agricultural sector, the city will actively and effectively implement groups of tasks and solutions to overcome the consequences of Typhoon Yagi to restore aquaculture production, restock, reforest and promote solutions in areas with much room for growth such as planting about 180 hectares of fruit trees and attracting investment in 11 agricultural projects combined with tourism services with a scale of over 1,400 hectares, with a total estimated investment capital of nearly 1,700 billion VND. Along with that, the work of handing over sea surface to households and businesses will be accelerated, expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2025.
Comrade Vu Quyet Tien, Member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, Secretary of the City Party Committee, affirmed: Ha Long City accounts for about 41.7% of the province's GRDP. Therefore, the city always clearly identifies that it must be the leading locality in all assigned tasks. With a growth rate of 18.8%, this is a growth rate that requires revolutionary changes to clear the space, creating a driving force for breakthrough development for the city. However, with extremely favorable conditions from the central government when institutions are completed, psychological bottlenecks of cadres in implementing tasks are removed and a Ha Long government that dares to think, dares to do, dares to take responsibility before the people, we will certainly conquer the set goals.
