Over the past 10 years, Quang Nam has overcome many difficulties and begun to register initial important development which lays the foundations for further advancement. Targets ahead are more challenging and severe and different from those of the initial period after the split. The current difficulties are at higher level and cannot be dealt with purely by determination which is, although, the first and necessary condition. In recent years, Quang Nam has registered lively development but still remains a poor province. The percentage of poor households stands at the average level of the country. Economic efficiency remains low in comparison with other provinces in the country.
