Over the past five years (2016-2020), emulation movements in all fields brought about practical results, making important contributions to fulfilling goals and tasks for socio-economic development. Thanks to that, the provincial economy continues to grow, with GRDP growth rate estimated at 7.3% in 2020 and the growth rate for the 2016-2020 period reaching 6.65% a year. Average per capita GRDP is estimated to hit VND42 million in 2020, up 1.5 fold from 2015.

The patriotic emulation movement in the 2016-2020 period saw strong development. Many emulation movements have been implemented effectively, such as “Yen Bai works together to build new-style rural areas”, “Innovation and creativity in teaching and learning” and “All people unite to build new-style rural areas.”

On behalf of leaders of the Party, State and the Central Council for Emulation and Commendation, Vice President Dang Thi Ngoc Thinh congratulated and hailed the achievements in emulation movements and commendation work of Yen Bai in the 2015-2020 period.
