In the first 6 months of 2023, facing the complicated developments of the world situation, along with the whole country, the socio-economic development of Nghe An province encountered many difficulties: Production and business activities of many enterprises were stagnant, people's lives were affected.

The leaders of the Provincial People's Committee and the Working Groups have inspected the situation and worked with localities and enterprises to promptly grasp and resolve difficulties and problems.

The state budget revenue is estimated at 8,489 billion VND, reaching 53.5% of the estimate assigned by the Provincial People's Council.
