The practice of thrift and anti-waste continues to be implemented well. The allocation of the 2022 public investment capital plan ensures compliance with the prescribed order of priority. Units continue to effectively exercise the autonomy approved by the People's Committees at all levels. Land recovery in the province is basically carried out according to regulations. The management, exploitation and trading of minerals have many changes.

There have been changes in administrative reform; institutional reform continues to receive attention; administrative procedure reform continues and one-stop mechanism and inter-connected one-stop mechanism are implemented; discipline, administrative discipline and public ethics of cadres, civil servants and public employees in agencies and units in the province will be strengthened in 2022.

Appreciating the investment attraction, especially FDI capital, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Duc Trung hopes that departments and branches will continue to promote and maintain the above positive results. However, the disbursement rate of ODA capital projects is currently low due to complicated disbursement procedures.

The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee also said that administrative reform in the province continues to have changes but has not achieved the desired results, the results of digital transformation are not clear, the implementation of Project 06 has not achieved high results. Departments and branches must identify this as an extremely important task, must do it substantially, better serve people and businesses, improve the investment and business environment, and create changes in attracting investment.
