Investment in culture and society grew, living standards improved, and national defense, security and social order remained stable.

Double-digit growth target

Chairman Tran Duy Dong said that in response to Conclusion 123 of the Central Party Committee, the Prime Minister's Directive 140 on achieving double-digit economic growth in 2025, and Government Resolution 25 dated February 5, 2025, the province has developed a strategy to reach a Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) growth rate of 10-11% compared to 2024. The sector-specific growth targets are as follows: Industry & Construction: 14.5% - 15.5% increase; Services: 10% - 11% increase; Agriculture, Forestry & Fisheries: 2.5% - 3% increase; Product tax (excluding subsidies): 3.5% - 4.5% increase. Additionally, the province aims to achieve a total state budget revenue of VND32.100 trillion, attract foreign direct investment (FDI) of US$800 million, and secure domestic direct investment (DDI) of VND5,000 billion.

To achieve this goal, Vinh Phuc prioritizes completing the institutional framework and improving the business environment. The province continues to simplify administrative procedures, eliminate bottlenecks and create favorable conditions for individuals and businesses. Additionally, it focuses on attracting investment in large projects to drive economic growth.

Provincial Chairman Tran Duy Dong said that despite the challenges of 2024, Vinh Phuc has conducted a thorough assessment of its resources and confidently set an ambitious double-digit growth target for 2025. He emphasized that this goal reflects Vinh Phuc’s responsibility to the nation, as the province has consistently ranked among the top in attracting FDI, with major global corporations such as Honda, Toyota and Piaggio investing and expanding their operations.

Along with efforts to develop a synchronized and modern infrastructure system, particularly in transportation to enhance regional connectivity, Vinh Phuc is restructuring key sectors with a focus on innovation-driven growth. The province prioritizes the development of high-quality human resources, especially in supporting industries, chips, semiconductors and artificial intelligence, while also promoting scientific research, technological development and innovation.
