The province continues to restructure its economy towards services, manufacturing, green industries, and the digital economy, while also accelerating administrative reforms, improving the investment environment, and fostering innovation.

In the first half of the year, Quang Ninh attracted over USD 292 million in FDI and nearly VND 128.43 trillion in domestic non-budget investment, with 1,150 new businesses established.

Sustained growth has created more quality jobs and raised per capita income, which remains among the highest nationwide. Quang Ninh has successfully eliminated multidimensional poverty in the period of 2022-2025. Livelihood support programs and vocational training for rural workers have been expanded, ensuring stable employment and sustainable income growth.

Healthcare, education, and social welfare have seen remarkable progress.

At the same time, the province is implementing a major social housing program, targeting the construction of 8,200 units by 2025 and 25,000 units by 2030 while completely eliminating substandard and temporary housing.

Quang Ninh aims to reach an HDI of 0.82 by 2025, and to maintain 0.82 or higher by 2030, striving to be among the top five provinces and cities in Vietnam.
