Briefing participants on outstanding achievements of the province in 2021, Secretary of the provincial Party Committee Do Duc Duy said that Party Committees and authorities at all levels have proactively implemented pandemic prevention and control measures in a flexible, timely and methodical manner, keeping Yen Bai as a "green zone" (safe) for a long time, thus helping maintain socio-economic development activities in the new normal state.

In 2021, the province’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate reached 7.11 percent, ranking second out of the 14 provinces in the northern midland and mountainous region, and 12th out of the 63 provinces and cities in the country. Budget revenue topped 4.38 trillion VND, equal to 171 percent of the estimate assigned by the Ministry of Finance, and 109.6 percent of the estimate assigned by the provincial People's Council, an increase of 23.7 percent compared to 2020.

Secretary Huy affirmed that these results are the crystallisation of the tradition of solidarity, the spirit of innovation, high determination and great efforts, as well as the great and persistent contributions of the whole political system, including generations of provincial leaders over the periods.

Wishing them and their families good health, happiness and prosperity in the new year, Huy expressed his hope that with their experience, enthusiasm, and responsibility to the homeland, the former leaders and heads of departments and sectors will continue to contribute and give constructive ideas to the provincial Party Committee so as to help it complete the goal of making Yen Bai develop quickly and sustainably in the direction of "green, harmony, identity and happiness".
