Central Highlands provinces have actively accelerated investment promotion and improved their business environment to attract non-State capital, especially in the 2011-2015 period, with the rate of non-State capital increasing from 38.37% in 2006 to nearly 70% in 2015.
Localities have focused on developing the traffic infrastructure system, using some VND64 trillion since 2001. Key constructions, including Ho Chi Minh trail going through the Central Highlands; the national roads 14, 19, 20 and 28; and Buon Ma Thuot, Lien Khuong and Pleiku airports, have been put into use, easing passenger and goods transport.
So far, the traffic system in the Central Highlands has a length of nearly 40,000 kilometres, with automobile roads reaching each commune.
Thousands of billions of VND have also been invested in building irrigation constructions, serving plantation and daily water use for residents in remote and border areas.
In 2016, the Gross Regional Domestic Product reached over VND151.039 trillion, with income per capita estimated at VND39.56 million per year./.
