In the process of innovation, 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 has 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 awareness of "following Uncle Ho's ideology, morality, and lifestyle" has gradually become a self-awareness 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 initial, 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.
