During the first half of 2026, the district recorded 4 percent economic growth, with average annual per capita income reaching 50.3 million kip. Budget revenue exceeded 11.8 billion kip, or 55 percent of the annual target, while exports—including cement, cassava, and livestock—were valued at more than US$74.4 million.
Authorities also reported that all-weather road access now reaches 99 percent of the district, telecommunications coverage stands at 95 percent, and all villages have achieved model health village status. Phanam Subdistrict, established on April 24, 2026, comprises 25 villages and has completed the initial deployment of personnel and administrative resources.
Addressing local officials, the Prime Minister called for stronger political and ideological education, effective implementation of Party and government policies, and continued institutional strengthening to improve public service delivery.
He urged authorities to implement the 10th National Socio-Economic Development Plan (2026–2030) and Resolution No. 04/CC on building a self-reliant and independent economy by promoting commercial agricultural production, expanding investment, simplifying administrative procedures, and removing bottlenecks, particularly in documentation and approvals.
The Prime Minister also stressed the need to intensify efforts against drug trafficking, theft, fraud, and cybercrime through stronger law enforcement and public awareness campaigns. He called on district leaders to lead by example, uphold accountability, and strictly comply with Party discipline and state regulations.
At the conclusion of the visit, Prime Minister Sonexay provided financial assistance to support Mahaxay District's development priorities and donated essential consumer goods to help improve the livelihoods of local residents.
