Other tasks focus on developing the logistics system, accelerating agricultural restructure, boosting sea-based economy, developing infrastructure and promoting high-quality human resources training.
Under the master planning, the southeastern region is envisioned to transform into a modern and civilized region with a thriving industrial sector by 2030. It aims to surpass the high-income threshold and become a leader in adopting new growth models, digital transformation, and the development of cultural, social, educational and healthcare sectors.
It aspires to become a premier hub for the digital economy, attracting international financial institutions and major global corporations. It envisions itself as a center for economic, financial, commercial, cultural, educational, and scientific-technological activities within Vietnam, holding a prominent position in Southeast Asia and evolving alongside major Asian cities.
The region aims for an average annual GRDP growth rate of 8-9% between 2021 and 2030 and 7.5% between 2031 and 2050, with per capita GRDP of some $14,500 - 16,000 by 2030 and $54,000 by 2050.
