(ĐN) – Despite impacts from two waves of COVID-19 outbreaks in the first half of this year, Dong Nai posted a gross regional domestic product (GRDP) growth rate of 5.74 percent over the same period last year.
Particularly, the construction and industrial sector grew 6.2 percent, the services sector expanded 5.4 percent, and agro-forestry-fishery sector increased by 4.16 percent.
This showed the effective policies, strategies and directions from the provincial to local levels with the implementation of “dual targets” of controlling the pandemic and ensuring socio-economic development at the same time.
The province’s State budget collection reached over VND29.6 trillion in Jan-June period, equivalent to 62.87 percent of the yearly estimates and up 44 percent from the same time of 2020. The figure included nearly VND27.5 trillion sourced from domestic revenues, a year-on-year increase of 34.55 percent.
In the reviewed period, the province exported around US$11.6 billion worth of products and spent nearly US$9.7 billion on imports, resulting in a trade surplus of more than US$1.9 billion.
Total registered capital of new foreign-invested projects and additional capital in existing ones in Dong Nai amounted to more than US$764.2 million in the first six months of this year. Specifically, 26 new FDI projects worth US$275.78 million were licensed in the period, while 55 existing projects absorbed US$488.44 million.
About 1,767 new enterprises were founded in the first seven months of 2021; while about 548 others suspended operation and around 187 enterprises were dissolved.
The province is now making greater efforts to fulfill socio-economic targets for 2020.
