Overview of the 13th Session (special session) of the 18th Provincial People's Council.

PV: In addition to positive results, Nghe An's socio-economic situation in the first 6 months of 2023 still faced many difficulties, the growth rate of gross regional domestic product (GRDP) was lower than the same period in 2022 and did not reach the target set for 2023. At this session, what important decisions and resolutions will the Provincial People's Council have to remove difficulties for businesses and people, promote socio-economic development, and create momentum to complete the growth target for the whole year of 2023?

Comrade Nguyen Nam Dinh:The implementation of the socio-economic development plan of Nghe An province in the first 6 months of 2023 takes place in the context of the world and regional situation continuing to develop complicatedly and unpredictably.

The decline in consumption has led to a decline in production, business, investment, trade, and export markets in the country in general and Nghe An province in particular. Many businesses lack orders and have to cut production scale and number of employees; the real estate market has declined and stagnated; and input material prices have increased.

The complicated and unusual weather, prolonged intense heat, power and water shortages have negatively affected production and business activities and people's lives. The gross domestic product (GRDP) growth rate only reached 5.79% (scenario 8.4 - 9.4% in the first 6 months of the year and 9 - 10% for the whole year of 2023).

At this session, the Provincial People's Council will discuss, review and approve 26 reports and 31 resolutions on the implementation of socio-economic development tasks, ensuring national defense and security, budget revenue and expenditure, public investment, implementation of national target programs in the last 6 months of 2023; policies and mechanisms, specific mechanisms to support officials working in one-stop-shop departments, fisheries exploitation, logistics, forest management and protection, education and training, health care, sports, etc. to remove difficulties and obstacles, promote administrative reform, promote production and business development, increase budget revenue, accelerate the implementation progress and disbursement of public investment projects, contributing to achieving the highest results in implementing the goals and targets set for 2023.

The person answering the question must answer directly to the point, concisely, without analyzing and citing long-winded reasons or evading them, and must frankly accept responsibility if the content of the question refers to existing problems in the field he/she is responsible for.
