However, to achieve the growth scenario of 9% in 2018, the last 6 months of the year must reach 10.5%, all levels and sectors must direct strongly. Regarding budget revenue, the total revenue can be achieved, but the concern is the structure of domestic revenue, currently revenue from state-owned enterprises, industry and trade, and revenue from foreign-invested enterprises is low; tax debt is high. These are issues that need to be analyzed to find solutions.
Disbursement of construction investment projects is higher than the whole country.

To speed up the disbursement progress, the Provincial People's Committee is requested to direct localities to speed up the progress of site clearance for projects and consider allocating capital for completed projects.
Assessing this content, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Huynh Thanh Dien said that the progress of some projects is slow, procedures are still stuck, especially in site clearance. Currently, some projects with large capital sources focus on the fields of transportation, irrigation, and electricity but have many problems.

Therefore, all levels and sectors need to review and direct more drastically.
