The strategic convergence of national resources and competitive advantages makes the region the nuclear of Red River Delta development, a hub for trade exchange, international integration, and a status marker within ASEAN and the global community.
The region is at the centre of national economic restructuring, growth model renewal, and the next stages of national industrialization and modernization.
As of 2020, average GDP per capita in Ha Noi would touch US$ 5,500. The proportion of agro-forestry and fishery sector would be 5.5%; industry and construction 49.1% and service 45.4%. The region is expected to account for 32% of total national exports.
The number of regional households formally classified as poor would decrease by 2% annually. Poor household per capita income would rise 2.5-3.5 times every five years. At least 80% of regional communes would meet national health standards.
The master plan also set to raise the trained proportion of labor force to 80-85%, with 40-45% of workers receiving specialized vocational training.
Ha Noi - a global finance centre
Under its master plan, service industry, trade activities, and cultural sector are intimately linked to Red River civilization, festival, and spiritual tourism.
It will concurrently focus on modernizing financial and banking services and cultivating a business environment capable of transforming the capital city into a finance centre of international standards.
Key industrial sector
The master plan prioritizes improving the competitiveness of highly localizsed industrial sectors with footholds in the global value chain, including electronics, science and technology, telecommunications, mechanical engineering, ship building, maritime facilities, high quality steel, construction materials, pharmaceuticals, food processing, garments and textiles, and leather and footwear.
The region wants to encourage industrial sectors that are technologically advanced, minimize carbon emissions, and produce environmentally products.
The development of rural areas and agriculture should be linked to the region’s expanding pharmaceutical and food processing industries.
Industry and construction is set to increase by 8.2% for 2011-2015, 10% for 2016-2020, and 9% for 2021-2030.
High-tech agriculture
The region will develop intensive farming to maximize the income value of its cultivated area.
Newly formed fishing industry logitistics centers in Hai Phong, Cat Ba, and Bach Long Vi Island will be in charge of intensifying offshore fishing while subsuming smaller scale inshore fishing into more efficient economic activities.
Cattle and poultry husbandry and aquaculture will be subject to food hygiene and safety and environmental protection regulations. The region will invest in building refrigerated warehousing to serve its exports.
Nuclear and satellite urban centre
The master plan also outlined a network of “nuclear and satellite” municipalities as a framework for regional development. Relatively established urban centers including Bac Ninh, Vinh Phuc, Ha Long, and Hai Duong will support satellite urban areas in Son Tay, Tu Son, Xuan Mai, Chi Linh, Cam Pha, Uong Bi, and Mong Cai.
The Ha Noi sub-region includes Vinh Phuc, Bac Ninh, Hung Yen, and Hai Duong. The coastal sub-region consists of Hai Phong, Quang Ninh, and sea and island areas./.
