Yen Bai prioritises resources for pandemic control

Monday, August 9, 2021

YBO - Despite adverse impacts of COVID-19, Yen Bai managed to maintain and expand socio-economic developments in the first seven months of this year, with relatively high rises in a number of major indications.

Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Tran Huy Tuan requests all sectors and localities to focus on comprehensively and effectively implement the “dual targets,” striving to complete all socio-economic plans for 2021.

Specifically, the province’s industrial production index in July rose 6.59 percent over the previous month and 8.08 percent against the same period last year. Total retail revenue of goods and services increased 15 percent, while export revenue grew 52 percent. State budget collection was also up 20 percent, while total development investment expanded 8.5 percent.

So far, Yen Bai is one of the four localities nationwide without any locally-transmitted COVID-19 cases.

However, the pandemic, which has spread complicatedly across the country, has affected important economic indications of the province, resulting in a low economic growth rate at less than 50 percent of the province’s plan.

At a meeting of the provincial People’s Committee in July, Chairman of the committee Tran Huy Tuan asked administrations in all localities and sectors to continue to strictly implement central and provincial directions on COVID-19 prevention and control, avoiding negligence and irresponsibility in the work, while minimising meetings and spending budget in an economic manner to give more resources for pandemic prevention and control activities.

Departments, sectors and localities were also asked to stick to targets and tasks set in the provincial Party Committee's action plan and resolutions of the provincial People’s Council as well as the provincial People's Committee's Action Plan No.2 and scenario on adjustments of economic growth in the last six months of 2021, thus comprehensively and effectively implementing the "dual targets,” striving to complete all socio-economic plans for this year.
