Lam Dong sets a double-digit GRDP growth target, pushing decisive actions in public investment, investment attraction and budget revenue to drive breakthroughs.

With a target of achieving average GRDP growth of 10–10.5% annually during the 2026–2030 period, Lam Dong is demonstrating strong political will, an innovative development mindset, and decisive action. This is not merely an economic target, but also a necessary step to drive fundamental and comprehensive transformation, enabling the province to achieve rapid and sustainable development in the new phase.

“

The goal of achieving double-digit economic growth is an objective requirement for national development in the new phase and reflects our aspiration to rise. We cannot afford to hesitate or waver. We must be determined to realize the target of high, sustainable, and substantive economic growth.

General Secretary and President To Lam

Entering the 2026–2030 period, Lam Dong faces intertwined opportunities and challenges that require not only sustained growth but also qualitative breakthroughs to enhance competitiveness and adaptability in a new development context.

Setting a “double-digit” growth target reflects a consistent viewpoint: rapid development must go hand in hand with sustainability; economic growth must be linked to improving people’s living standards, protecting the environment, and maintaining social stability.

At the same time, it serves as a measure of leadership and governance capacity at all levels, requiring coordinated efforts from the entire political system, the business community, and the public.

To achieve this goal, the province has identified three foundational strategic breakthroughs.

First is institutional reform and administrative reform, focusing on removing bottlenecks, simplifying procedures in a transparent and efficient manner, shortening processing time, and improving service quality for both citizens and businesses.

Next is the development of a synchronized and modern infrastructure system, particularly inter-regional transport networks, to expand development space and attract investment.

At the same time, the province will improve the quality of human resources, accelerate digital transformation, and apply science and technology in management and production to meet the demands of the digital economy.

These three breakthroughs serve as a crucial foundation, enabling rapid and sustainable growth in the medium and long term.

Based on its potential and advantages, Lam Dong is focusing on maximizing key growth drivers.

High-tech agriculture continues to play a central role, developing in a modern direction, increasing added value, promoting deep processing, and expanding markets.

Industry and construction are being developed selectively, with priority given to processing industries, energy, and sectors with high added value.

However, significant challenges remain, as some targets have yet to be met, project progress remains slow, and procedures related to investment, land acquisition, and site clearance continue to face obstacles.

In response, the province is focusing on removing bottlenecks in institutions, resources, and implementation as a key step toward achieving its growth targets.

Beyond determination, Lam Dong is moving decisively toward concrete and resolute actions.

From the outset of the period, detailed growth scenarios have been developed for each sector, field, and locality, clearly defining targets, timelines, and implementation responsibilities.

Notably, amid growth pressures as some targets fall short of expectations, provincial leaders have continuously held thematic meetings—even overnight sessions—to review progress and seek solutions, in the spirit of “no turning back,” with proactive, hands-on leadership that does not shy away from difficulties.

At the same time, the province is tightening administrative discipline, linking the responsibility of heads of agencies to performance outcomes, and requiring reviews to identify bottlenecks—especially in public investment disbursement, project implementation, and administrative reform.

“

"Each department and sector must accurately assess the situation on the ground and implement solutions effectively, avoiding a situation of good talk but poor execution.”

Le Trong Yen, Standing Vice Chairman of the Lam Dong Provincial People’s Committee.

A series of key solutions is being implemented in a synchronized manner: accelerating public investment disbursement; resolving long-delayed projects; strengthening investment attraction in key sectors; and improving the business and investment environment in a more substantive and effective way.

The overarching approach is to act faster, more decisively, and more effectively, taking tangible results as the ultimate measure. This serves as the foundation for translating the “double-digit” growth target into concrete outcomes.

On that basis, Lam Dong continues to implement solutions in line with the principle of the “six clarities”: clear ownership, clear tasks, clear timelines, clear accountability, clear outputs, and clear outcomes, thereby enhancing governance efficiency and implementation capacity.

The province also focuses on removing difficulties for businesses, promoting the role of the private sector, and mobilizing social resources for development. Governance thinking is shifting strongly from “management” to “development facilitation.”

“

The goal of achieving ‘double-digit’ GRDP growth leaves no room for retreat. Everyone must act with determination and decisiveness. In particular, key areas such as public investment, investment attraction, and budget revenue collection must be given the highest priority.

HO VAN MUOI
Member of the Party Central Committee,
Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee,
Chairman of the Lam Dong Provincial People’s Committee.

With the right orientation and comprehensive solutions, Lam Dong aims to become a fairly developed province by 2030, with GRDP per capita reaching approximately USD 6,700–7,500; a modern and synchronized socio-economic infrastructure system; a green and sustainable economy; and steadily improving living standards for its people.

More importantly, Lam Dong strives to become a dynamic growth pole in the Central Highlands, making an active contribution to national development.

The “double-digit” growth target is not only an economic requirement but also a key political mission, reflecting the determination and aspiration of the Party, government, and people of Lam Dong. With strong resolve and decisive action, the province has a solid foundation to pursue rapid, sustainable, and broad-based breakthrough development.
