At the seminar, the representative of BCG consulting unit presented the strategic orientation of Binh Duong province planning for 2021-2030 with a vision to 2050. BCG has identified 6 pillars for Binh Duong to escape the income trap including distributed growth traps, labor productivity trap, need to use more creative chains, and trap of inequality in development.

Attending the seminar, the delegates asked the consulting unit about issues such as specific development plans and strategies, how Binh Duong overcomes the middle income trap, solutions to attract talents, and development of waterway transport.

According to BCG, if Binh Duong wants to overcome the income trap, it must put people at the center in all strategies and attract more people to live in Binh Duong.
