Chairman of the Quảng Ngã iProvincial People’s Committee Nguyễn Đức Tâm chairs the meeting
Chairman of the Quảng Ngãi Provincial People’s Committee Nguyễn Đức Tâm has called on departments, agencies and localities to intensify efforts and take decisive action to fulfil the province’s socio-economic targets in the final two months of 2026.
He made the call while chairing a regular meeting of the Provincial People’s Committee on November 6 to review socio-economic performance in October and the first 10 months of the year, and discuss key tasks for the remainder of 2026.
According to the Department of Finance, the province’s socio-economic situation remained stable, with positive results recorded across several sectors.
Industrial production continued to be a major growth driver. The industrial production index rose by 10.45 per cent year-on-year in October and 13.85 per cent in the first 10 months, exceeding the national growth rate of 12.4 per cent.
Trade, services and exports also maintained strong growth. Retail sales of goods and consumer service revenue exceeded VNĐ125 trillion, up 15.26 per cent, while export turnover reached approximately US$3.45 billion, a year-on-year increase of 40.2 per cent and above the annual target.
The province welcomed around six million tourist arrivals, equivalent to 98 per cent of its yearly target.
State budget revenue exceeded VNĐ29.7 trillion, representing 87.8 per cent of the annual estimate and an increase of 5.2 per cent year-on-year.
Revenue from import and export activities topped VNĐ12.6 trillion, exceeding the assigned estimate.
However, public investment disbursement remained a concern. The province disbursed around VNĐ1.006 trillion in October, bringing the cumulative rate to 64.3 per cent of the adjusted capital plan, compared with the national average of 74.1 per cent.
Slow site clearance and unresolved project difficulties continued to affect implementation.
To maintain growth momentum, Chairman Tâm asked the province to strive for annual GRDP growth of 9.3–9.5 per cent.
The Department of Finance was tasked with regularly updating growth scenarios and managing the budget proactively to meet or exceed the 2026 revenue target.
The Department of Industry and Trade was directed to work with major businesses and investors to explore production and business expansion opportunities and remove obstacles to power projects.
Meanwhile, the Department of Construction was asked to review infrastructure and urban planning, promote social housing development and facilitate investment and construction activities.
Regarding the proposed Quảng Ngãi–Kon Tum Expressway, the Department of Construction was assigned to proactively prepare the necessary procedures for project implementation, while local authorities were told to strengthen land management in the planned project area.
The province aims to complete the strategic transport project by 2030.
The Chairman also stressed the need to improve the investment and business environment through stronger dialogue with enterprises, faster administrative procedures and the settlement of long-standing dossiers.
He described public investment disbursement as a key task for driving economic growth, asking project owners to accelerate implementation, register monthly disbursement targets and propose capital reallocations where necessary.
Project management boards and the provincial Land Development Centre, which together account for about 65 per cent of the province’s total public investment capital, were urged to make every effort to disburse all assigned funds.
Relevant agencies were also instructed to accelerate national target programmes and address outstanding obstacles.
In the social sector, the health sector was asked to complete a human resource development scheme and arrange medical personnel appropriately.
The province will also continue improving digital databases and strengthening the delivery of public services.
Concluding the meeting, Chairman Tâm urged vice chairpersons, department heads and local leaders to take direct responsibility for the progress and quality of assigned tasks, resolve outstanding cases and respond promptly to petitions and complaints from residents and businesses.
He stressed that the final two months of the year would be a critical period and called for stronger responsibility and decisive action to mobilise resources and achieve the highest possible socio-economic results in 2026.
