(ĐN)- Dong Nai ranked 22th among 63 cities and provinces in terms of competitiveness, according to the annual Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI) 2021 report released by the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry on April 27.
Quang Ninh once again topped Vietnam’s Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI) 2021.
This is the 5th year in a row Quang Ninh has topped the charts. It was followed by the northern port city of Hai Phong and the Mekong Delta province of Dong Thap.
Other cities and provinces in the top ten competitive localities includes Da Nang, Binh Duong, Vinh Phuc, Bac Ninh, Thua Thien - Hue, Ba Ria - Vung Tau, and Hanoi.
In the context of difficulties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the quality of provincial economic management in Vietnam is continuing to improve. Administrative reform has had positive changes, with increased efficiency and effectiveness at local levels. Anti-corruption efforts are also working to reduce the informal cost burden on businesses.
However, provincial authorities still need to step up the settlement of administrative procedures in the online environment, focusing on the fields of taxation, land, social insurance, the environment, construction, fire prevention and control, and market management, Cong stressed.
Since 2005, the VCCI and the US Agency for International Development (USAID) have cooperated to produce the annual PCI report to measure the quality of economic management, the level of convenience and friendliness of the business environment, and administrative reform efforts made by provincial governments, thus promoting the development of the private sector.
