A key highlight of Vietnam’s economic performance in 2025 was the strong acceleration of gross regional domestic product (GRDP) growth across many localities, with Quang Ninh, Hai Phong, Ninh Binh, Phu Tho and Bac Ninh emerging as national leaders, recording growth rates of between 10.27% and 11.89%.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has directed the southern province of Tay Ninh to leverage its role as a nexus of global connectivity through its four border gates, a regional transit and a linkage for industrial development.

Given that the growth task for 2025 still faces many challenges, achieving the growth target of 8.3-8.5% relies heavily on the acceleration of localities that are key economic drivers of the country.

VOV.VN - The capital city of Hanoi aims to achieve a gross regional domestic product (GRDP) growth rate of 8% or higher this year, while effectively operating its two-tier government model, said the municipal People’s Committee.

Localities across Vietnam are working hard to develop GRDP growth scenarios to meet the "growth quotas" set by the Government, all aimed at economic breakthroughs in 2025.

Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha has approved adjustments to the investment policy for the My Xuan International General Port project, which was previously the Vinalines Ship Repair Factory.

The top five localities with the largest gross regional domestic product (GRDP) in Vietnam for 2024 are Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Binh Duong, Dong Nai and Hai Phong.

VOV.VN - The capital city of Hanoi has set a target of recording its gross regional domestic product (GRDP) of at least 7% in 2023.

VOV.VN -Localities must be confident and promote the spirit of self-reliance in a bid to develop the northern midland and mountainous region into a green, sustainable, and comprehensive development model for the entire nation.

The northern province of Hai Duong is striving to create optimal conditions for Japanese investors, Secretary of the provincial Party Committee Pham Xuan Thang affirmed on May 30.
