On the afternoon of January 9, Da Nang City People's Committee organized a meeting with businesses and investors in 2026. At the conference, the city looked back at the economic picture in 2025 with many imprints after the merger of Quang Nam province and Da Nang City.
According to Da Nang City People's Committee, in 2025, the city's economic growth rate reached 9.18%, ranking 9th/34 provinces and cities directly under the Central Government. Total state budget revenue reached nearly 64,000 billion VND, exceeding nearly 25% of the estimate. The tourism industry recorded a boom with 17.3 million visitors, leading the country in terms of international visitors during the recent New Year holiday.
Despite achieving many positive results, Member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the Da Nang City Party Committee Le Ngoc Quang frankly acknowledged the shortcomings in the apparatus. On behalf of the city leaders, Mr. Le Ngoc Quang apologized to investors for the "bottlenecks" in legal affairs and prolonged land procedures that affected project progress and business confidence.
Regarding the orientation for the coming time, the Secretary of the Da Nang City Party Committee affirmed that the city will strongly shift its thinking from "management" to "creativity and service". Da Nang is committed to maximally shortening the processing time of dossiers, transparentizing administrative procedures and resolutely handling the situation of harassment and shirking responsibility.
The city is urgently operating the Office of the International Financial Center and promoting investment attraction into 7 free trade zones to create new growth momentum.
It is expected that after the 2026 Binh Ngo Lunar New Year, the Standing Committee of the Da Nang City Party Committee will organize a direct dialogue forum to remove on-the-spot recommendations and commitments to practically accompany and not leave any businesses behind.
