Quang Ngai’s development planning for the rest of the decade, with a vision towards 2050, was signed and approved by Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha on November 22.

The planning boundary of Quang Ngai covers just over 5,000 square kilometres of natural area, encompassing both land territory and marine space.

In light of the fresh planning scheme, Quang Ngai aims to shine among the well-developed localities in the country, with enhanced autonomy and adaptability to economic fluctuations.

It will focus on developing digital, green, and circular economies, gradually attracting green and high-tech industry to its local industrial parks.

At the same time, it will build high-quality services, with an emphasis on tourism, and promote high-tech agricultural models, with a focus on organic and circular agriculture.

Other tasks involve improving its infrastructure to serve the development of green and smart cities, forming the national energy and petrochemical refining centre in the Dung Quat economic zone (EZ), and developing Ly Son island district into a stunning sea-island tourism centre.

There will be continued investment into infrastructure development at important industrial areas, especially the Dung Quat EZ, proactively promoting the connection between it and the Chu Lai Open EZ to form a key coastal industrial centre.

The average regional GDP growth rate for the 2021-2030 period is expected to reach 7.25-8.25 per cent per year, of which the growth of the agriculture, forestry, and fishery sector should achieve 4-5 per cent, that of the industrial sector should hit 8.25-9.25 per cent, and the service sector is targetting 10-11 per cent annually.

The regional GDP per capita stands at about $7,700-7,900, and the urbanisation rate is expected to surpass 50 per cent. The total social investment capital for the period from 2021-2030 comes to about $17.3 billion.

Leaders of Quang Ngai People's Committee said that from the beginning of this term, the province has focused on completing its planning as it is an important legal basis for localities to focus on calling for and allocating investment resources.

Nguyen Van Trong, director of Quang Ngai Department of Planning and Investment said, "The province’s fresh planning scheme serves as a fundamental element and a launch pad for Quang Ngai to accelerate its investment attraction and develop all aspects of the province."
