With a favorable geographical location, full infrastructure of deep-water ports, airports, railways, abundant labor, economic zones, multi-industry industrial parks, the economic scale of the North Central region is constantly increasing, each year higher than the previous year.

However, the North Central region is still a region with a development index in many areas lower than the national average. The potential and advantages of the region, especially the marine economy, have not been effectively promoted. The economic scale is still small, the average income per capita is still low, economic growth is not really sustainable, the quality and competitiveness are not high. The economic structure is still shifting slowly, there is no breakthrough, the regional development linkage is still loose, confused, passive,
