Lam Dong continues to clear bottlenecks to drive economic growth

On the afternoon of June 1, Ho Van Muoi, Member of the Party Central Committee, Deputy Secretary of the Lam Dong Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee, chaired a meeting of the Provincial People's Committee to review key tasks for the second half of 2026.

According to a report presented at the meeting, Lam Dong's socio-economic performance remained stable and continued to grow during the first five months of the year. Several economic indicators met or surpassed their assigned targets. State budget revenue reached VND 16.941 trillion, equivalent to 50.42% of the central estimate and 47.5% of the local estimate.

Investment attraction also recorded positive results. The province attracted 41 non-state budget investment projects with total registered capital of nearly VND 140 trillion. These included 19 newly licensed projects worth more than VND 55.3 trillion and 22 adjusted projects with combined capital of nearly VND 83 trillion.

Lam Dong welcomed nearly 8 million tourist arrivals, up 20.42% year-on-year. Total retail sales of goods and revenue from services reached VND 80.96 trillion, a year-on-year increase of 15.9%. Export turnover also began showing signs of recovery.

However, capital disbursement remained slow, while efforts to remove obstacles facing non-state budget projects continued to encounter challenges.

At the meeting, departments, agencies and units discussed solutions to accelerate public investment disbursement, attract more investment and reorganize surplus assets following administrative-unit mergers. They also proposed measures to address obstacles in the implementation of key tasks.

Concluding the meeting, Chairman of the provincial People's Committee Ho Van Muoi emphasized that the meeting was important for Lam Dong to promptly clear bottlenecks and create stronger momentum for growth.

Regarding public investment disbursement, the province has allocated capital to project owners and issued comprehensive directives, along with a range of measures to accelerate implementation. However, disbursement progress has yet to meet expectations.

From now on, departments, agencies and units
must use Gantt charts to clearly define implementation roadmaps, progress and specific outcomes, while ensuring prompt and regular reporting to the Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee

Chairman of the Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee Ho Van Muoi.

Regarding efforts to remove obstacles for businesses, particularly non-state budget investment projects, working groups have taken action with a strong sense of determination. To achieve concrete results, relevant units must prepare weekly reports on obstacles and progress in resolving them, with a focus on promptly addressing delayed dossiers.

For surplus assets following administrative-unit mergers, the Department of Finance was assigned to take the lead in developing specific handling plans. These plans should include detailed inventories, clear assignments of management and usage responsibilities, and appropriate measures for disposal or repurposing to avoid wasting public resources.
