Prime Minister Ph\u1ea1m Minh Ch\u00ednh recently had a working session with three provinces and cities: Ho Chi Minh City, B\u00e0 R\u1ecba – V\u0169ng T\u00e0u, and B\u00ecnh D\u01b0\u01a1ng, emphasizing the need for these localities to promote high growth while ensuring sustainability.<\/span><\/p>\n

In particular, he stressed the importance of properly preparing the administrative boundary rearrangement, implementing the spirit of the organizational apparatus reform to create new development space, enhancing digitization, reducing administrative procedures, eliminating intermediaries, and lowering costs for people and businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Economic Scale of the Three Provinces and Cities Accounts for Nearly 24% of National GRDP<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In the Southeastern economic region, the three provinces\u2014Ho Chi Minh City, B\u00e0 R\u1ecba – V\u0169ng T\u00e0u, and B\u00ecnh D\u01b0\u01a1ng\u2014are localities with relatively strong growth rates. Notably, the economic scale of these localities ranks them among the top 10 in the country, with a significant gap compared to many other provinces and cities.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the General Statistics Office, the economic scale (GRDP) for 2024 at current prices of these three provinces is 2.71 trillion VND, accounting for nearly 24% of the current total economic scale of 11.5 trillion VND (476.3 billion USD).<\/span><\/p>\n

Of this, Ho Chi Minh City leads the country with 1.78 trillion VND; B\u00ecnh D\u01b0\u01a1ng ranks third, just behind Hanoi, with 520.205 trillion VND, and B\u00e0 R\u1ecba – V\u0169ng T\u00e0u has an economic scale of 417.306 trillion VND. These three localities are home to vibrant economic activities, large-scale investment projects, and production initiatives.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ho Chi Minh City leads the nation in attracting FDI, with a cumulative total of nearly 59 billion USD by 2024. Many major projects are being implemented, such as the establishment and development of financial centers, high-tech zones, innovation centers, and especially infrastructure projects.<\/span><\/p>\n

These include the T3 Tan Son Nhat airport terminal project, the Ring Road 3 connecting Ho Chi Minh City, \u0110\u1ed3ng Nai, B\u00ecnh D\u01b0\u01a1ng, and Long An; the Ho Chi Minh City – M\u1ed9c B\u00e0i expressway; the Ho Chi Minh City – Th\u1ee7 D\u1ea7u M\u1ed9t – Ch\u01a1n Th\u00e0nh expressway; the B\u1ebfn L\u1ee9c – Long Th\u00e0nh expressway; and the expansion of Ring Road 2 to the Bi\u00ean H\u00f2a – V\u0169ng T\u00e0u expressway.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, B\u00ecnh D\u01b0\u01a1ng has risen to second place in the country in attracting foreign investment. As of 2024, the province has attracted nearly 43 billion USD, with many high-tech, logistics, industrial production, urban areas, and infrastructure projects such as Lego, Ring Road 4 of Ho Chi Minh City, mechanical and IT industrial zones.<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, B\u00e0 R\u1ecba – V\u0169ng T\u00e0u is attracting many large projects to become a hub for renewable energy, offshore wind power supply chains, petrochemicals, liquefied gas, biotechnology industries, seaports, high-tech zones, and tourism.<\/span><\/p>\n

This includes expanding container port clusters in C\u00e1i M\u00e9p, the Bi\u00ean H\u00f2a – V\u0169ng T\u00e0u railway, upgrading C\u00f4n \u0110\u1ea3o airport, projects in Long S\u01a1n, H\u1ed3 Tr\u00e0m urban area, and the Long S\u01a1n M\u1ef9 Xu\u00e2n general cargo port.<\/span><\/p>\n

Expanding When the Space Is Tight, Connecting Infrastructure and Value Chains<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n

In an interview with Tu\u1ed5i Tr\u1ebb Online<\/em>, Dr. Nguy\u1ec5n Qu\u1ed1c Vi\u1ec7t, from the Department of Public Policy, Faculty of Development Economics at the University of Economics – Vietnam National University Hanoi, stated that these three localities, along with \u0110\u1ed3ng Nai, are key growth drivers for the entire Southeastern region.<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, when arranging administrative units at the provincial level in the future, attention should be given to the spatial arrangement of a locality to converge and optimize the exploitation of the economic, cultural, and social advantages of the provinces and cities in the region.<\/span><\/p>\n

In particular, this arrangement should be based on leveraging comparative advantages and linking value chains. The goal is to form centers and growth drivers that complement each other, rather than each center only exploiting its own advantages.<\/span><\/p>\n

Especially when the value chain extends beyond the scope of one province or city, with the market scale for production and consumption expanding, connecting space based on economic corridors, hard and soft infrastructure, transportation and logistics, and seaports becomes crucial.<\/span><\/p>\n

“If these localities have inherent connections in the value chain, they should have certain administrative boundary links, rather than focusing solely on growth poles such as urban areas or industrial centers. This way, provinces will be able to leverage their comparative advantages and complement each other in the value chain and production chain of the region,” Dr. Vi\u1ec7t said.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, Ho Chi Minh City and neighboring provinces are all growth poles of the Southeastern region. If connected with neighboring provinces like B\u00e0 R\u1ecba – V\u0169ng T\u00e0u or B\u00ecnh D\u01b0\u01a1ng, infrastructure and value chain connections will be key to breaking out of the existing economic space and unlocking new resources.<\/span><\/p>\n

In practice, these localities and the entire Southeastern region are forming a transportation infrastructure network with expressways, railways, roads, seaports, and airports.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is also a region with a dynamic economy and a diverse ecosystem of private and foreign enterprises, so the need for value chain integration is growing higher.<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore, Dr. Vi\u1ec7t believes that without an efficient and effective apparatus to mobilize and connect resources, it will be difficult to fully exploit the massive economic scale of these localities, which are considered growth poles with development potential, when “the space” some areas are currently in is already too tight.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
