Quang Ngai Targets Growth Amidst Investment Disbursement Challenges, Seeks Capable Cadres

Quang Ngai province is striving for double-digit economic growth, but faces hurdles in disbursing public investment funds. In the first half of 2026, the province's GRDP grew by 8.55% year-on-year, reaching an estimated 74.382 trillion VND. This growth places Quang Ngai 18th among 34 provinces nationwide and third within its regional grouping. However, the pace of public investment disbursement lags, with only 35.1% of the capital allocated by the Prime Minister disbursed by August 13. This figure rises slightly to 36.5% after accounting for a 5% local budget saving. Deputy Prime Minister Pham Gia Tuc, during a working session with provincial authorities, emphasized the need for self-reliance and concrete accountability in development efforts. He also highlighted the potential for developing integrated tourism chains, linking key locations like Ly Son, My Khe, Sa Huynh, Dung Quat, Mang Den, and Bo Y. Ly Son is envisioned as a marine and island tourism hub, while Mang Den is slated to become a center for eco-tourism and resort development, focusing on the night economy and high-quality accommodation to extend tourist stays. Crucially, Deputy Prime Minister Tuc stressed the importance of human capital, calling for the development of a cadre team with strong principles, capabilities, and integrity – individuals who are close to the people and willing to take initiative and responsibility.

Quang Ngai needs to build a team of cadres with strong principles, qualities, capabilities, and prestige, close to the people, daring to think, daring to do, and daring to take responsibility.
