In early August, the province conducted a mid-year review of its digital transformation efforts under Resolution 57-NQ/TW. Key achievements include a digital economy representing approximately 22.71% of GRDP and high rates of electronic document processing and online public service transactions. New initiatives involve a data-governance system utilizing artificial intelligence for real-time monitoring and early-warning alerts. Following these digital initiatives, the province reported significant economic growth, with GRDP increasing by an estimated 10.18% in the first half of 2026. This growth is accompanied by a substantial surge in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), which reached nearly $1.8 billion, a 4.9-fold increase over the previous year.
