Efforts of the Government in solve difficulties for businesses and step up economic growth in 2017 will show effectiveness in 2018, which will help to better the business environment and economic integration as well as attract investment. However, damage caused by the storm Damrey makes negative impact on the province’s economy and society. The above factors have big influence on the province’s socioeconomic development in 2018.
