PCI index of Mekong Delta fluctuates strongly
According to the VCCI Legal Department, the PCI results in 2023 show that the Mekong Delta region has 8 provinces and cities in the top 30 provinces and cities nationwide with the best governance quality and is the region with the third highest PCI 2023 score in the country.
Enterprises highly appreciate provinces and cities in the Mekong Delta region for their legal institutions, dynamism and pioneering government apparatus, as well as market entry, administrative reform, land access; and the lowest informal cost burden compared to other regions.
Notably, in the Top 10 provinces and cities leading in the PCI index, the Mekong Delta region alone has the presence of 4 provinces including Long An, Dong Thap, Ben Tre and Hau Giang, doubling compared to the PCI ranking in 2022.
In particular, Long An province has made a strong breakthrough from 10th place in 2022 to the runner-up position in 2023 with 70.94 points. Two new factors appearing in the Top 10 PCI this year are both from the Mekong Delta: Ben Tre ranked 7th with 69.20 points, up 6 places compared to last year and Hau Giang ranked 9th with 69.17 points, up 3 places compared to 2022.
Many drastic solutions
In 2023, Can Tho City's PCI will rank 14/63 provinces and cities, 5/13 in the Mekong Delta region. Mr. Tran Viet Truong, Chairman of Can Tho City People's Committee, has just issued a plan "Action to improve Can Tho City's PCI in 2024 and the following years".
The goal of the plan is to create an increasingly favorable business environment, attracting domestic and foreign investors to Can Tho, striving for an annual PCI score increase of 1-2 points, improving the PCI ranking position and achieving the ranking of "Group of localities with good management quality".
To achieve the above goal, the Chairman of the Can Tho City People's Committee requested departments, branches, sectors and People's Committees at all levels to proactively innovate working methods, focus on researching and effectively implementing solutions to improve PCI, especially solutions related to administrative procedures, information transparency and business support.
At the same time, Mr. Tran Viet Truong also assigned tasks to each department and sector to improve component indexes. For example, the Department of Planning and Investment was assigned to improve the component index "market entry costs"; the Department of Natural Resources and Environment improved the "land access index"; the "equal competition" index was assigned to the Department of Home Affairs, the Department of Industry and Trade, the City Tax Department, etc.
Meanwhile, the new factor in the Top 10 - Ben Tre province ranked 7th in the rankings has also implemented many solutions to improve each component index, aiming to build a favorable and attractive business environment for investors.
Mr. Tran Ngoc Tam, Chairman of Ben Tre Provincial People's Committee, said that in order to build a dynamic team of officials and a creative government serving the people and businesses, every year, the Provincial People's Committee organizes a conference to announce the results of assessing the management capacity of departments, branches, sectors and localities.
