According to the preliminary report on the implementation of political tasks in the first 6 months of 2026 of the An Giang Provincial Party Committee, the GRDP growth rate reached 8.83% (leading the Mekong Delta region and ranking 16th in the country). In which, the industrial - construction sector increased the most strongly with 16.8%, followed by services increasing by 9.45% and agriculture - forestry - fishery increasing by 3.62%.
Agriculture continues to play a supporting role when rice production is estimated at 5.3 million tons; seafood production reaches 822,000 tons. The tourism sector boomed when welcoming more than 16.6 million visitors, bringing in revenue of 39,283 billion VND (up 34.4% over the same period). State budget revenue is estimated at 16,520 billion VND, equal to 51% of the estimate.
A highlight in this period is that An Giang province successfully organized the Conference to announce the Provincial Plan and Investment Promotion in 2026, awarding investment policy decisions for 19 projects with a total capital of 66.9 trillion VND. At the same time, signing a memorandum of understanding of nearly 1.5 million billion VND with large corporations. In addition, preparations for the APEC 2027 Summit were deployed on schedule; infrastructure for site clearance and basic leveling material sources were basically removed.
To comprehensively complete the 2026 goals, the An Giang Provincial Party Committee has set out a direction program for the last 6 months of the year with the determination to promote GRDP growth for the whole year to reach 10.71% or more.
In terms of economy, the province focuses on effectively implementing the High-Tech Agriculture Development Project, striving for rice production in the last 6 months of the year to reach over 3.54 million tons, expanding the Project to 1 million hectares of high-quality, low-emission rice by an additional 24,000 hectares. In the industrial sector, An Giang will accelerate the progress of key projects, complete the national grid electricity supply for An Son and Nam Du islands (Kien Hai) and supply renewable energy to the Tho Chau special zone.
In particular, the province will apply the KPI measurement method in evaluating and ranking cadres and civil servants throughout the province to improve the capacity to perform public duties.
Speaking at the 5th Conference of the Provincial Party Committee Executive Committee on July 8, Member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of An Giang Provincial Party Committee Nguyen Tien Hai said that although many results have been achieved in all fields, the province's economy has not yet reached the set growth scenario (9.22%). The disbursement rate of public investment capital as of June 30 only reached 30.51% of the plan assigned by the Prime Minister.
Secretary of An Giang Provincial Party Committee frankly pointed out 3 major bottlenecks that need to be focused on removing: bottlenecks in development thinking (still showing signs of waiting and dependence); bottlenecks in cadre quality (a part is afraid of making mistakes and does not dare to do it); and bottlenecks in implementation organization (the gap from resolution to reality is still large).
The Secretary of the An Giang Provincial Party Committee requested the entire political system to focus on key tasks. In which, shift the focus from "organization arrangement" to "improving operational quality". Resolutely replace stagnant and pushing cadres; cadre evaluation must be based on products and people's satisfaction level. In July 2026, it is necessary to complete the review and remove backlog projects to unlock resources.
Develop high-quality services, taking Phu Quoc, the marine economy and smart tourism as spearheads. Identifying careful preparation for APEC 2027 as a particularly important political task, both as pressure and as a boost to upgrade infrastructure, urban management and reposition the An Giang brand.
Secretary of An Giang Provincial Party Committee requested each member of the Provincial Party Committee Executive Committee; each comrade, head, head; each Party Committee, Party organization, agency, unit, and locality to continue to promote the spirit of responsibility, solidarity, unity of will and action; higher determination, greater effort, more drastic and effective action; turn all guidelines and resolutions into specific and practical results.
