The Party Committee and people of Nghe An through the periods have promoted fine traditions, upheld the spirit of attack, and actively contributed to the revolutionary cause of the Party and the country.
In the renovation process, especially in recent years, the Party Committee and people of Nghe An have united and strived to achieve comprehensive results in all areas. The economy continues to develop at a fairly high growth rate, reaching 9.08% in 2022, the second highest growth rate in the North Central region and 22nd in the country. This is the highest growth rate in the past 12 years. The economic structure has shifted in a positive direction.
By the end of 2022, Nghe An had basically completed most of the socio-economic development plan targets. State budget revenue in 2022 reached VND 21,805 billion, up 45.2% compared to the estimate, up 9.1% compared to 2021. Investment attraction in 2022 in the province achieved very positive results. Notably, in 2022, for the first time, Nghe An entered the group of 10 localities attracting the largest FDI in the country with a total capital of approximately 1 billion USD.
The cultural and social fields continue to receive attention and direction in many diverse and exciting forms, creating excitement and improving the spiritual life of the people. The province has proactively implemented effective solutions to prevent and control epidemics according to the direction and guidance of the Ministry of Health; continued to maintain the achievements in the quality of key education, and continued to be in the top 5 localities nationwide in terms of excellent students at the national, regional and international levels.

The work of building the Party and the political system has been strengthened; building a clean and strong grassroots party organization has been identified as a top priority with the goal of building a contingent of cadres and party members who are pioneers, exemplary, virtuous, talented, enthusiastic, highly responsible, with theoretical ability and practical capacity.

The awareness of "following Uncle Ho's ideology, morality and style" has gradually become a self-consciousness of each cadre, party member and people of all walks of life.
The results that Nghe An has achieved in many areas are very valuable, but they are only the beginning, still very modest, still low compared to many provinces with the same starting point. The province is still facing many bottlenecks and bottlenecks... without good and effective solutions to remove them in the development process. The lives of a part of the people, especially in remote and isolated areas, still face many difficulties; some places in special areas still have potential factors that can easily cause instability in security and order.
