Hai Phong’s socio-economic performance maintained its growth momentum in October and the first 10 months of 2026. Overall, eight of the city’s 10 key targets are expected to meet or exceed their annual goals, or have recorded positive results. Two targets are projected to fall short: growth in the industrial production index (IIP) and the number of newly established businesses. 

As of October 22, the city had disbursed 32.331 trillion VND in public investment, equivalent to 87.58% of the capital allocation assigned by the Prime Minister.

To achieve its full-year 2026 GRDP growth target of 13%, including growth of 15.39% year-on-year in the fourth quarter, the Hai Phong People’s Committee has asked departments, agencies and local authorities to closely follow and vigorously implement tasks and solutions set out in resolutions issued by the central government and the city.

They have also been urged to regularly monitor and assess monthly socio-economic indicators, focus on measures to address targets that are lagging behind schedule, accelerate public investment disbursement, site clearance and construction of key projects, including industrial parks, industrial clusters, port facilities and social housing developments.

The city will step up inspections and supervision to promptly resolve obstacles, accelerate administrative reform and digital transformation, expand online public services, promptly address feedback and petitions from residents and businesses, and strengthen public service discipline.

Other priorities include ensuring balanced supply and demand for goods and energy, particularly during the year-end period and the 2027 Lunar New Year holiday; effectively implementing cultural, social, healthcare, employment and social welfare programs; and maintaining national defense, security and public order.
