Workshop |
According to the results given by the research group led by Dr. Ngo Quang Minh –
Director of the Economics Institute and President of the Ho Chi Minh National
Academy of Politics and Public Administration, who undertook research on Dong
Nai’s quality of economic growth in the 1999-to-2009 period, Dong Nai, a
province in the southern key economic region, has considerable advantage for
economic growth. Particularly, Dong Nai’s economic growth is relatively high
compared with the 13-percent average of the country in which the industrial and
construction sector is a main contributing factor; its economic transition is
heading in a right direction; its investment capital grows quite rapidly and
meets development needs; many of its economic sectors have a relatively high
competitive capacity over that of the country and its indicators of social
welfare and human development improve greatly.
However, studies reveal that there exist drawbacks, risks of unsteadiness and
potential risk factors that curb Dong Nai’s economic growth. Despite its
relatively high growth, Dong Nai’s services sector remains at a low productivity
level; its businesses only achieve an average technology level that is lower
than regional and international ones; its environment is severely damaged and
its high-quality human resources have failed to meet requirements ...
Based on research results, remarks, evaluation, the research group put forward
10 proposals to improve Dong Nai’s quality of economic growth: pledge strong
innovation, call for leadership’s dynamism and pioneerism, improve business
environment, attempt to raise capital for investment and development, improve
investment quality and efficiency, assist businesses in increasing their
technological level and capacity of competition, make more scientific and
technological contributions to growth, boost investment in services and modern
industries, pay more attention to investment in education and human resources,
take drastic measures to protect the environment and accelerate administrative
reforms.
Addressing the workshop, Mr. Tran Dinh Thanh – Member of the Central Party
Committee and Secretary of Dong Nai Party Committee said that the workshop
played a very important part in the province’s development and that research
results, evaluation and forecasts given during the workshop formed a foundation
for Dong Nai to find solutions to its sustainable growth.
