It also pointed out five targets that Hoa Binh may fail to achieve, namely economic growth, economic structure, total State budget revenue, numbers of new businesses and cooperatives, and health insurance coverage.

Speaking at the meeting, Secretary of the provincial Party Committee Ngo Van Tuan requested that in the time ahead, all-level authorities, sectors, localities, and agencies take more drastic actions so as to achieve the targets set for 2021 at the highest possible level.
In particular, they need to pay more attention to administrative reforms, business climate improvement, land management, planning, site clearance, and the progress of key transport infrastructure projects.
