According to Mr Anh, in 2023, the world has many fluctuations, the economy recovered slowly after the pandemic, and the economic situation of the province and the city still face many difficulties, but the socio-economic situation of the city has achieved many important results. The economy recovers and grows, the value of trade - services increases by 6% over the same period. The total budget revenue is estimated at VND 2,568.38 billion, reaching 141% of the provincial estimate and 134.2% of the city’s estimate.

Projects to invest in basic construction, especially projects on education, infrastructure connection, urban upgrading, construction of new residential areas, resettlement, and landscape renovation to serve tourism. The city’s public investment disbursement in 2023 reached over 90%. Projects for agricultural development, project 01 billion green trees, and the national target program for new rural development are being implemented strongly and effectively.

Planning management and urban areas management continue to be completed and adjusted, which eliminates 10/16 suspended planning projects. The land use plan for 2030 has been completed. The review and establishment of a file to manage the surplus land and 5% of public land in the area for management has also been fulfilled.

Administrative reform associated with digital transformation and smart city development has also achieved positive results. The smart city project is completed. In 2023, Tam Ky rose to second place in the province in administrative reform.

In 2023, besides the achieved results, there are still shortcomings and limitations, that is, the production value of industry, trade, and services has not reached the set plan; economic revenue generated by the city’s management is not up to the estimated; the review of planning projects has not reached the set plan, so far 9/16 projects have not been completed; the work of promoting and attracting investment is of concern but there are no specific products; the progress of compensation and clearance in some projects still does not meet the requirements.
