Promoting the role of business as a driving force in development

(Baonghean.vn) - In the coming time, Nghe An should focus on developing industrialization and modernization of rural agriculture. Gradually reduce the rice growing area to grow some crops with high economic efficiency. Enterprises should be considered as the driving force for local economic development.

That is the opinion of Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Trong Xuan - Vietnam Economic Institute, presenting his views at the Workshop on Nghe An Development to 2020 in the spirit of Resolution 26-NQ/TW of the Politburo.

In recent years, Nghe An's economy has developed significantly, with an average GRDP growth rate of 7.89% per year in the 2011-2015 period. However, the implementation of some important economic development targets has not yet reached the set targets. The growth rate and quality, and the competitiveness of the economy are still low and unsustainable. The planning and construction of socio-economic infrastructure have not kept up with development requirements.

At the workshop, Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Trong Xuan pointed out a number of reasons: Nghe An has not yet found the bottleneck in the vicious circle of economic development. The operational capacity of the cadre apparatus in some places is still limited, operations are not coordinated, while the leaders are very interested in the field of economic development.

Nghe An has not yet built an important economic development strategy, so resources have not been fully exploited; there are no strong enough policies to attract resources from outside.

In the next 5 years, Nghe An should draw conclusions and focus on directing the effective implementation of existing programs and projects. It should not attract projects that have a large impact on the environment. It should carefully calculate the exploitation of resources, given the current situation of small-scale, ineffective exploitation by enterprises.

It is not necessary to carry out industrialization according to the model of accelerating traditional industrial development, with a large amount of raw materials, but in the coming time, we should focus on developing industrialization and modernization of rural agriculture. Gradually reduce the rice growing area to grow some crops with high economic efficiency. Enterprises should be considered as the driving force for local economic development.

Therefore, the locality needs to promote human resource training to meet high demands. Develop agriculture and forestry in conjunction with processing industry. Promote the development of the pharmaceutical industry in conjunction with growing strong medicinal plants; focus on developing tourism; information technology.
