Gia Lai province pushes economic reforms while facing asset seizure dispute

At a regional dialogue in Gia Lai, officials outlined a shift from traditional administrative practices to a "creation" model that uses KPIs and artificial intelligence to drive private‑sector growth. Speakers highlighted the need for integrated infrastructure, deeper processing of agricultural products, and an ecosystem approach to industrial zones. The province pledged concrete actions and accountability mechanisms to support local enterprises.

Separately, a furniture company in the province saw its land and factory assets seized and auctioned after a court ruling. The company contested the valuation, arguing that the appraisal certificate used an unsuitable basis—Decision 62/2024 on land compensation—not appropriate for civil‑enforcement pricing. Provincial finance and construction departments reviewed the appraisal method and indicated procedural flaws, while the enforcement agency maintained that the seizure complied with the law.
