After 4 years of implementing the Resolution of the 24th Congress of the City Party Committee, Mong Cai has so far completed and exceeded 18/20 targets set by the Resolution. The economy has grown rapidly and sustainably; the city has no more poor households; the material and spiritual life and the "happiness" index of the people have been increasingly improved.
One of the breakthrough highlights in implementing the Resolution of the City Party Congress is that Mong Cai focuses on synchronously implementing solutions to restore and develop advantageous service economic sectors after the Covid-19 pandemic, especially the fields of trade and tourism services. Since the beginning of 2020, China has temporarily suspended customs clearance at border gates 10 times to prevent and fight the Covid-19 pandemic; in that context, the city has had many flexible, timely and effective solutions, especially the establishment of "safe green zones" at border gates and openings in line with the "Zero Covid" strategy of the other side.
Thanks to that, since the beginning of the term, each year the city has attracted an average of more than 400 enterprises to carry out import and export procedures for goods through border gates and openings in the area. The total value of import and export goods reached over 15 billion USD, with an average growth rate of 10%/year; total budget revenue in the area reached over 15,211 billion VND (domestic revenue of 6,008 billion VND, reaching 112.6% of the estimate assigned by the province; customs revenue reached 5,987 billion VND, reaching 105.5% of the estimate). In the first 9 months of 2024 alone, state budget revenue in the area reached over 3,940 billion VND (domestic revenue of 1,287 billion VND; customs revenue of over 1,804.391 billion VND, exceeding 12.4% of the estimate assigned by the province, up 50.5% over the same period); attracted 592 more import-export enterprises, bringing the total number of enterprises carrying out import-export procedures in the area to 1,178; total import-export turnover reached over 2.9 billion USD. The whole city has 740 newly established enterprises...
The Resolution of the City Party Congress sets the target that by the end of the term, the economic structure will shift towards: Services accounting for 58%; industry and construction accounting for 37%; agriculture accounting for 5%. To achieve this goal, the city will promote the development of industry and handicrafts, with special attention paid to the development of clean technology, increasing value and being environmentally friendly; prioritize attracting and supporting strategic corporations in the processing and manufacturing industry to study and research investment in the city, such as: Vinhomes Industrial Park Investment Joint Stock Company - Vingroup Group, Amata; speed up the completion of phases 4 and 5 of Hai Yen Industrial Park; propose the province to add 2 industrial parks south of Luc Lam River to invest in processing, manufacturing and high-tech industries, production and assembly of electronic components, accessories, auto parts, machinery, logistics, etc. The total value of industrial and handicraft production from the beginning of the term to now has reached more than 33,300 billion VND.
Tourism is gradually becoming the city's spearhead economic sector with tourism infrastructure invested in improving service quality. In the 2020-2023 period, it will reach 3.962 million visitors; contribute VND 256 billion to the state budget on tourism services. In the first 9 months of 2024, the city welcomed more than 2.8 million visitors, an increase of 91% over the same period last year; contribute more than VND 140 billion to the state budget on tourism services, an increase of 134% over the same period.

The total FDI capital in the area reached over 19,200 billion VND.
With economic development, the city actively takes care of ensuring social security, effectively implementing labor, employment, income and meritorious people policies; building a healthy living environment, improving people's quality of life according to the criterion of "happiness".
