Hanoi’s latest planning has made it a priority to transform the Red River area into a central landscape axis for the city.

The power utility plans to launch 34 power projects and commission 63 others this year, with an estimated construction investment of VND20.4 trillion (US$837.6 million).

A reduction in interest rates is expected to fuel better credit performance in 2024 compared to last year.

Proactive and coordinated efforts among Government agencies are key to achieving the goal of upgrading Vietnam's stock market from the current frontier to emerging market status.

The growth driver for the Red River Delta will be urban areas designed to foster an economic ecosystem encompassing industry, services, trade, and tourism.

Both sides agreed to push forward cooperation in urban planning, healthcare, heritage preservation, sports, filmmaking, and youth exchanges.

The government’s prudent and proactive monetary policy, supported by price controls on gasoline, electricity, food, health care, and education, continues to keep inflation in check.
