GRDP grew an estimated 8.55 per cent in the first six months of 2026, while industrial production increased 14.1 per cent in the first seven months. State budget revenue exceeded VNĐ21.4 trillion, up 11.4 per cent year on year, and more than 1,000 new businesses were established.
Tourism also continued to recover, with about 4.5 million visitors recorded in the first seven months and revenue of nearly VNĐ4 trillion. Destinations such as Măng Đen and Lý Sơn remained attractive to visitors.
After one year of operating under the two-tier local government model, the provincial administrative apparatus has remained basically stable and uninterrupted.
Quảng Ngãi identified key priorities for the coming period, including achieving 9 per cent GRDP growth in 2026, accelerating public investment disbursement, resolving long-standing projects, improving the investment environment, and promoting the potential of Dung Quất Economic Zone, Bờ Y International Border Gate Economic Zone, marine economy, logistics, industry, high-tech agriculture and tourism.
The province also proposed that the Government and central ministries help address difficulties related to developing Dung Quất into a national oil refining and energy center, developing Lý Sơn into a national marine-island tourism hub, investing in the Quảng Ngãi - Kon Tum expressway and the North-South high-speed railway, developing the Dung Quất gas-power project chain, and the Măng Đen Airport.
