To create momentum for breakthroughs, one of the important tasks that the province focuses on is investment attraction. Along with directing departments, branches and localities to proactively review and remove bottlenecks, knots and difficulties in investment attraction to release and unblock resources, promote socio-economic development; directing to rectify and overcome shortcomings, limitations, improve the quality of project establishment, appraisal and shorten the time for implementing investment policy procedures, the province also organizes working sessions with working groups, large corporations and enterprises in the country and abroad to study and explore investment opportunities; successfully organizes investment promotion working groups in Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Australia, Lao People's Democratic Republic, and the United Kingdom, in which a number of important cooperation agreements have been signed and the results after the working trip have been implemented; At the same time, focus on implementing preparations for organizing the cultural exchange program - connecting Vietnamese - Korean enterprises "Thai Binh Homecoming Day" - one of the major and important events of the province to promote the potential, development strengths, and spread the investment and business environment of the province to domestic and foreign investors. In addition, the province also established a special working group to remove difficulties and obstacles, effectively support enterprises, investors, and investment projects in the province, headed by the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee; 3 working groups to direct the resolution of outstanding work and obstacles, headed by 3 Vice Chairmen of the Provincial People's Committee and a working group to support the implementation of the LNG power project; at the same time, organize a working delegation of the province to work with 5 districts on the socio-economic development situation, disbursement of public investment capital, and removing difficulties and obstacles in production and business.
With such active and effective implementation, Thai Binh has become an attractive investment destination for domestic and foreign investors. The clearest evidence is that in the first 10 months of 2023, the province attracted an estimated investment capital of nearly 39,600 billion VND, 2 times higher than the same period in 2022 with 103 production and business investment projects (total registered capital of nearly 19,600 billion VND, up 7.5% over the same period in 2022, of which FDI capital reached 657.9 billion USD) and 17 housing development projects (total investment capital of nearly 20,000 billion VND).

Not only focusing on investment attraction, the province also focuses on promoting the disbursement of public investment capital to promote socio-economic development. Right from the beginning of the year, the province has thoroughly grasped and seriously and fully implemented the direction of the Government and the Prime Minister on the disbursement of public investment capital; assigned and announced capital plans early, directed investors to promptly complete procedures, develop detailed construction and disbursement progress plans; resolutely directed site clearance to speed up project progress; at the same time, regularly organized meetings and inspected projects, on that basis promptly directed to remove obstacles. Therefore, in recent times, Thai Binh has always been in the top of the provinces with high public investment disbursement rates in the country, thereby contributing to accelerating the progress of a number of key projects of the province. In 2023, the total public investment capital plan of the province assigned by the Prime Minister is nearly 4,910 billion VND; The total local capital plan has allocated nearly 8,810 billion VND. By the end of October 2023, the estimated disbursement of the province's public investment capital plan will reach 85.5% of the plan assigned by the Prime Minister and equal to 46.8% of the plan allocated by the province.
Efforts and determination to carry out tasks
2023 is considered a pivotal year of great significance in implementing the socio-economic development plan for the 2021-2025 period. Therefore, in parallel with solutions to promote local strengths, Thai Binh also focuses on directing departments, branches, districts and cities on the basis of reviewing and evaluating the achieved results, proposing specific solutions to organize implementation, ensuring the highest achievement of the targets and plans set for 2023. One of the tasks that requires high concentration is the work of collecting the state budget. By the end of October 2023, the total domestic revenue collected by the tax sector is estimated to reach nearly 5,900 billion VND, reaching 51.8% of the estimate.
Mr. Do Hong Nam, Director of the Provincial Tax Department, said: In the last two months of the year, the tax sector will continue to implement Directive No. 10/CT-UBND of the Provincial People's Committee on promoting state budget collection in 2023, effectively implementing administrative procedure reform, creating the most favorable conditions for taxpayers to strive to achieve the highest level of revenue.
