The report on the implementation of the Socio-Economic Development Plan for the first 6 months of the year of the Hanoi People's Committee sent to the 23rd Conference of the Party Executive Committee shows that in the first six months of 2025, the capital's socio-economic development will continue to develop, with GRDP growth reaching 7.63%, creating a premise for completing the 2025 target of achieving a growth rate of 8% or more.

The Index of Industrial Production (IIP) increased by 5.9% - not yet commensurate with the potential. Businesses continue to face difficulties, the number of dissolved and temporarily suspended businesses increases.
Waste and wastewater treatment plant projects have not yet met the set progress. The treatment of water pollution in inner-city rivers such as Kim Nguu, To Lich, Lu, Set, Nhue - Day rivers has not yet met the requirements.
