Focus on investment and public spending
For September, the province will continue to attract selective investment in high-tech industries, clean industry, logistics and high-quality tourism.
It will also accelerate public investment disbursement, address difficulties related to site clearance and complete the medium-term public investment plan for 2026–2030.
The province is promoting key development links, including the Dung Quất–Bờ Y–Chu Lai corridor, high-tech agriculture and medicinal plants, as well as the Lý Sơn–Măng Đen–Sa Huỳnh tourism triangle.
The development of Lý Sơn into a marine and island tourism centre by 2030, with a vision to 2045, will also be further promoted.
Stronger push for year-end targets

He set a target of more than 9.5 per cent growth in both the third and fourth quarters, with full-year growth reaching 10.5–11 per cent.
He also called for efforts to achieve 100 per cent disbursement of public investment funds, accelerate major projects and complete site clearance.
The province aims to resolve all 111 outstanding projects under its authority by November 2026, while continuing to improve the investment and business environment through faster and more transparent administrative procedures.
