In the period of 2025 - 2029, domestic revenue from mineral exploitation activities (excluding value added tax, corporate income tax) and tax revenue from hydropower production facilities in the Western Nghe An region is expected to be 4,987.5 billion VND.

The remaining capital needs to be arranged more concentratedly, with more focus, key points, meeting requirements, creating development momentum.
