The province’s total capital for infrastructure investment in the 2011-2015 period was estimated at more than VND98.6trillion or 37.3% of total capital for social development. Nguyen Thanh Truc, Director of provincial Department of Planning and Investment (DoPI) said that over the past time, the province bent on diversifying resources and methods for infrastructure investment, especially works to realize the local breakthrough programs, in which traffic infrastructure received a top priority. Besides, the province actively mobilized locals to get involved in carrying out rural traffic works; paid more attention to urban development and planning; continued expanding and effectively tapping industrial parks and compounds as planned.
However, the province still faced some shortcomings in mobilizing all resources for the local development. That’s reason why the province needs to continue mobilizing all resources to build up a modern and synchronous socio-economic infrastructure system in the 2016-2020 period, in which the local traffic system with regional connection need to be ensured.
According to Mai Hung Dung, Vice-Chairman of provincial People’s Committee, the province needs to concentrate on mobilizing resources for the local infrastructure development from private enterprises while more effectively using the central and local budget in this field.
Hi-quality services promoted
The proportion of service sector now accounts for 40% of the province’s economic structure. Since 2015, hi-quality services regarding banking-finance, export-import, tourism…have loomed large across the province. The added services of the sectors of post-telecommunications, healthcare, information technology …have also been expanded, contributing to promoting the local industrial and agricultural production.
The above result showed that the province’s hi-quality services over the past time upheld their role as a motivation for the local comprehensive development and the formation of Binh Duong new city in the near future. But, the sector also encountered plenty of obstacles for change.
According to Mr.Dung, Binh Duong is a locality with different development from other localities. Hence, the province’s program on developing hi-quality services needs to put focus on industrial manufacture and service sectors. For export activities, hi-quality services should be given priority to logistics, customs and power, water fields…These fields have a high added value, make great impacts on the local industrial development speed and improve the local GDP value. All need to be invested concentratively in order to promote the local hi-quality services.
Addressing the meeting, Mr.Liem asked for provincial DoPI to further collect and research contributive ideas from leaders of sectors, departments and localities in the province to perfect relevant reports. In general, the province’s hi-quality services over the past timewere developed equally, but the effectiveness of some was still low. Therefore, the province’s development of hi-quality services need to well meet enterprises and locals’ needs, which must be in line with the local development goal towards industrialization, modernization and civilized-modern urban development.
