Mr. Tran Van Vu stated that the city's growth in the first six months of the year did not reach the double-digit target set by the central government. He attributed this to the city's focus on completing its organizational structure and other contributing factors. However, Mr. Vu emphasized that this was still a positive result.

"This ranking shows that Da Nang not only maintains a high growth rate but also continues to expand its economic scale, affirming its role as the economic, trade, and service center of the Central region. This result also reflects the efforts of the entire political system of the city," Mr. Vu said.

According to the Chief Statistics Officer of Da Nang City, in the last six months of the year, the city will implement many solutions to strive to achieve the set growth target.
