Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen
Van Dung said the local living standards have been improved in recent years
thanks to the close leadership and guidance of local authorities, particularly
efforts of ethnic groups to get out of poverty and build new-style rural areas.
Besides the State’s support, locals have contributed
resources to implement the programme effectively. They donated working days,
land, goods and cash worth over 366 billion VND.
The provincial People’s Committee has issued specific plans
to carry out the drive, along with a number of mechanisms and policies to
attract and mobilise investment for communes to complete targets of building
new rural areas.
Localities in the province have mobilised over 48.2 billion
VND from other programmes and projects to implement 200 production development
models. Many have built plans to develop small-and medium-sized production models
connecting households and businesses to generate jobs and increase incomes for
locals. As a result, in 2019, the per capita income in rural areas increased to
about 32 million VND. The rate of poor households was reduced to 11.36 percent.
As a result, 103 out of the total 191 communes have met the criterion on the
household poverty rate, up 14 communes from 2018./.
In the first quarter of 2024, the credit institutions in the province have actively deployed the legal documents of the State and the State Bank relating to currency, credit and interest rates. At the same time, they have promoted the capital mobilization, focusing on the solutions to expand the credit investment along with strengthening the credit quality management, lending to priority programs to promptly meet the capital needs for export - business and consumer demand during Tet in 2024.
Outside the key economic region of Hoa Binh, yet Lac Son district has utilised its potential and strengths regarding labour, land, and transportation connectivity to attract investment to the locality, contributing to promoting socio-economic development.
In a move to expedite the execution and disbursement of the 2024 capital plan for ODA projects, aiming for a disbursement rate of over 90% of the allocated funding, the Hoa Binh People's Committee issued Document No. 483/UBND-KTN on April 3, 2024, regarding such efforts.
Nguyen Van Thap from Kim Duc hamlet, Vinh Tien commune, Kim Boi district, has built the brand of Hoa Qua Son for local fruits. His efforts have brought about income for his family and generated job opportunities for locals, helping hundreds of households escape from poverty.
The Hoa Binh administration was entrusted by the Prime Minister with a budget of 3.43 trillion VND (142.91 million USD) for investment in 2024. The provincial People's Council approved nearly 3.76 trillion VND, which has been meticulously allocated to projects, achieving 100% of the assigned capital plan.
Hoa Binh province has mobilised all resources to propel local agricultural products to make inroads into foreign markets, towards lifting the export turnover of key agricultural products to 137.8 million USD by 2030, accounting for 3.4% of the locality’s total export value of goods.
