Ninh Thuan seeks solutions to improve provincial competitiveness index in 2024 with the goal of striving to reach 71.70 points or more.

Mr. Tran Quoc Nam, Chairman of Ninh Thuan Provincial People's Committee spoke at the Workshop.

Ninh Thuan Provincial People's Committee has just coordinated with the Vietnam Federation of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) to organize a workshop to evaluate and analyze the contents affecting the Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI) in 2023, solutions to improve the PCI Index in 2024 and the following years.

At the Workshop, Mr. Le Huyen, Vice Chairman of Ninh Thuan Provincial People's Committee, informed that in 2023, the province's PCI Index reached 69.10 points, an increase of 3.67 points and an increase of 19 ranks compared to 2022, an increase of 38 ranks compared to 2021; thereby ranking 11th out of 63 provinces and cities, ranking 2nd out of 14 provinces and cities in the Central Coast and being in the group of 30 provinces and cities with the best governance quality in the country.

However, Ninh Thuan Provincial People's Committee recognizes that achieving a high ranking is difficult, maintaining and improving the ranking is even more difficult, especially in the context of general difficulties nationwide and many localities have had significant changes in improving the PCI index.

Therefore, through the Workshop, the province hopes to find solutions to promote component indexes that have achieved high scores, in the top 10 such as Government Dynamism Index, ranked 1/63 provinces and cities; Market Entry Index, ranked 2/63; Land Access Index, ranked 6/63.

At the Workshop, Ms. Le Thanh Ha, Head of Business Environment Department, VCCI Legal Department, assessed that Ninh Thuan's PCI score in recent years has tended to increase; the results of the component indexes of Ninh Thuan PCI Index in the last 2 years have 7/10 indexes changed.

Specifically, business registration procedures have improved; administrative reforms continue to maintain high results; the business environment is gradually becoming more equal for small and medium enterprises; trust in legal institutions has been established for businesses; informal costs for businesses have continued to be reduced; more favorable access to information has been created for businesses; the dynamism and pioneering nature of the provincial government apparatus continues to be highly appreciated by businesses...

In the coming time, Ms. Ha said, the province needs to focus on solving the difficulties that businesses are facing, such as accessing credit, finding customers, market fluctuations; focusing on areas that businesses said are still troublesome such as land, tax, environment, fire prevention, social insurance, etc.

In his concluding remarks at the workshop, Mr. Tran Quoc Nam, Chairman of Ninh Thuan Provincial People's Committee, affirmed the view that "improving the investment and business environment, administrative reform, and enhancing competitiveness only have a starting point, not an ending point".

The province always accompanies substantially, creating the best conditions for businesses and investors to find different opportunities, maximize their talents, intelligence, and capacity, enrich themselves legitimately, and build and develop businesses to become increasingly strong and sustainable in the province.

The Chairman of Ninh Thuan province requested departments, branches and localities to step up the implementation of investment and trade promotion programs, diversify forms of investment promotion, especially trade promotion.

Chairman of Ninh Thuan Provincial People's Committee awarded Emulation Flags to 9 enterprises and cooperatives leading the province's emulation blocs in 2023.

Along with that, departments and branches urgently complete and implement the Plan to implement the Ninh Thuan Provincial Planning for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2050 (after the Prime Minister approves) to facilitate businesses to access and develop investment, production and business plans...
