Can Tho's Q1 economic growth exceeded 7% year on year, ranking 31st out of 34 provinces nationwide. The figure fell short of the base-case scenario by 2.5 percentage points, to reach an annual growth target of over 10%. Leaders of Can Tho inspected the city's largest industrial park project in March. Regarding public investment, Can Tho's Department of Finance said total allocated capital for this year is over 19.2 trillion VND. By the end of March, disbursed capital amounted to over 1.4 trillion VND, reaching more than 7% of the Prime Minister's target (not reaching the 20% target). The reason for the weak Q1 growth, the Finance Department said, is that the industrial and construction sectors have not yet played their role as growth engines, with growth significantly below the scenario. In manufacturing, some key sectors still face orders and demand challenges. The construction sector, especially housing and real estate, faces many legal, procedural, and land clearance obstacles, with the market recovering slowly. The services sector did not meet the expected growth, though it is the highest-growth sector, it remains below the planned target. While agriculture grows steadily, its share is small and value-added is not high. Public investment: the disbursement rate is much lower than the required scenario, not creating the spillover effects for growth. Some off-budget investment projects are slow to implement, not generating production value and affecting contributions to the GRDP. For enterprises, the number of new registrations and reactivations increased, but the number of enterprises dissolving and suspending operations remains high; business operations are not stable. Credit growth has not met the plan, showing the economy's capacity to absorb capital is still limited. To achieve double-digit growth this year, the remaining quarters must each grow by over 10%. Many tasks and measures have been proposed, among which disbursing public investment will be a key, urgent task.
