Challenges

 The implementation of regional development policies is inadequate.  The regional economic regulation tools are still undefined.  Urban and rural economic disparities increased.  Regional planning is inefficient  The main functions of regional development pillar cities and the regional governors are unclear.  The planning capacity of the staff is weak.  It is negative to consolidate the regional development policy at the state policy level.
