Parallel to its economic development efforts, Hung Yen People's Committee focuses on finalising the two-tier local government model. To date, the system has been operating in a stable manner, meeting the practical needs of both citizens and businesses.

The province also recorded significant progress in administrative reform, digital transformation, and business environment improvement. Notably, Hung Yen's Provincial Competitiveness Index in 2024 ranked among the top 10 for the first time.

To meet the socioeconomic development goals set for 2025, at a September meeting, Nguyen Khac Than, Chairman of Hung Yen People's Committee, urged departments and localities to rigorously implement directives from the central government, Hung Yen Party Committee, and the committee.

He emphasised the need to review and comprehensively evaluate growth targets, scenarios, and solutions for the remaining months of the year, with particular focus on site clearance for major projects.

Chairman Than assigned Project Management Boards No.1 and No.2 to reassess the schedules for public investment disbursement and strive to fulfill the disbursement plan by year-end.

“Simultaneously, efforts must gear towards promoting science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation, particularly in healthcare, education, agriculture, and the environment, along with accelerating proposals to establish a high-tech industrial park in the province,” he stated.
