Infrastructure development boosts economy in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta
Thanks to the national government’s investment in infrastructure in the Mekong Delta, localities in the region have achieved outstanding results in economic development over the past few years, returning to the growth trajectory seen before the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2021-25, the economy of the Mekong Delta and the country as a whole were heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and global conflicts.
2024 was considered a pivotal year for the provinces to complete their development targets for the period.
Outstanding budget revenue
In late 2023, the 23-kilometer My Thuan-Can Tho Expressway was opened to traffic, connecting to Ho Chi Minh City-Trung Luong and Trung Luong-My Thuan expressways.
The 120 kilometers of expressways have shortened the travel time from Ho Chi Minh City to the Mekong Delta by two hours.
