The first:Regarding economic growth rate, although the city has reached 9.15%, while the target set at the beginning of the term by the City Party Committee was 12.5 - 13.5%. Looking at Thanh Hoa city, the growth rate during this term has been maintained at around 15% for several years; Ha Tinh city has maintained a growth rate of 12 - 13%.

Although all comparisons are lame, however, given that figure and placed in the correlation of the two adjacent cities, in terms of geographical location, planning, infrastructure, appearance and population, Vinh city is much better and even the initial expectations set out, so the city continues to think about the mechanism, methods and clearly identify the focused and breakthrough steps to promote the economic growth rate of Vinh city in the coming time.

Monday:In 2019, the city's budget revenue is estimated at more than VND 2,376 billion, accounting for more than 15% of the province's total budget revenue; however, the revenue structure is heavily dependent on land revenue with VND 1,250 billion, accounting for nearly 53%.

Exploiting land resources for development is correct, however land resources are limited, especially in urban areas.

Therefore, to promote increased budget revenue and ensure stability, it is necessary to rely on production and business, especially tourism services, trade, finance - banking, tourism, science - technology, innovation, etc.

And recently the city has had new thinking, perspectives and approaches, starting to open a night street and is currently coordinating with Viettravel to research and develop night services; if successful, it will be a good premise for developing city tourism.

At the same time, the city also needs to be more proactive in searching, approaching, pursuing, and inviting investors to invest in projects that are a driving force for the city's development, avoiding the mindset: "We have been identified by the Politburo as the center of the North Central region in 10 fields, so investors will come and invest on their own."

Tuesday:There are still many shortcomings in planning and construction management. The reason is due to the policies and management methods from the provincial People's Committee to the city and wards and communes.

Planning is adjusted arbitrarily, any "gaps" are used to build high-rise buildings, not connecting to the traffic and drainage systems, affecting the living environment of the people.

The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee emphasized: The unified viewpoint of the Provincial People's Committee is not to arbitrarily adjust the planning. When the planning has been scientifically and wisely built, then stick to it to implement. Photo: Panorama of Vinh City. Photo: Thanh Duy

And currently, the unified guiding viewpoint of the Provincial People's Committee is not to arbitrarily adjust the planning. When the planning has been scientifically and wisely built, then stick to it for implementation; do not adjust the planning because of objective factors and if adjusted, it must be adjusted in a progressive and civilized direction.

When leaders at all levels have a serious and responsible attitude, if they submit without approval, the quality of planning and planning management will certainly change.

In the immediate future, the city will proactively research, survey, and comprehensively assess the causes of flooding in the city based on science and practice by organizing workshops inviting experts and scientists; from there, develop a project to focus on mobilizing resources for implementation.

Wednesday:In administrative reform, there are still people's complaints about a number of officials and civil servants lacking a sense of responsibility, handling issues slowly, being arrogant, causing trouble for people and businesses.

On the other hand, the city's document processing procedure is still difficult for businesses and people, requiring the entire city's political system to get involved, considering this a criterion that must be given regular and top priority.
