Efforts to cut investment procedures
Dak Nong has a low starting point. Overall, Dak Nong's economy still depends on agriculture. Some shortcomings in planning and bauxite affect the investment attraction process in Dak Nong.
In terms of infrastructure, Dak Nong has not really developed. In particular, the transport infrastructure is mainly roads, there is no waterway, no air route, no highway. The infrastructure of industrial zones is still limited and small in scale.
The health and education infrastructure systems are still underdeveloped. This limitation has negatively affected the investment environment. This is also the reason why Dak Nong has not created the attraction and choice of many investors coming to the province.
For many years, Dak Nong’s Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI) has always been at the bottom of the list. The Dak Nong Provincial People’s Committee had to frankly admit this and draw profound lessons from this experience.
Improving the investment and business environment is one of the breakthroughs identified by Dak Nong in the Resolution of the Provincial Party Congress for the 2020-2025 term. Having identified this, in recent times, Dak Nong has made continuous efforts to reform its administration.
Immediately after the Party Congress, the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial People's Committee concretized the resolution with many programs and plans to improve the investment and business environment.
One of the solutions Dak Nong has consistently implemented in improving the business investment environment is to cut down on investment procedures.
Every year, the Dak Nong Provincial People's Committee publicly announces the DDCI index. This is an index to assess the competitiveness between departments, branches and localities.
This index is published to facilitate investors. The functional departments and the People's Committee of Dak Nong province regularly organize and participate in major events to promote investment, promote image and tourism.
According to Director of the Department of Planning and Investment Tran Dinh Ninh, the awareness and responsibility of leaders at all levels of the Party Committee, government, cadres and civil servants regarding investment attraction has been raised.
The coordination process between departments and branches in resolving difficulties and problems for businesses has gradually improved. Up to now, the total time to resolve procedures in the province has been significantly reduced compared to before.
“Dak Nong has significantly reduced the time for handling administrative procedures for people and businesses. Some good methods implemented by units include: the business cafe model; establishing a working group to solve difficulties for investors; the model of “no appointment, no writing”, Mr. Ninh affirmed.
Strongly improve the business investment environment, first of all, promote administrative reform; enhance competitiveness, innovate to attract investment, accompany businesses; mobilize, manage and effectively use all resources for development.
Resolution of the 12th Dak Nong Provincial Party Congress, term 2020-2025
Strong breakthrough
The Party Committee and government of Dak Nong province have identified improving the investment and business environment as an important breakthrough. The locality has increased the concentration of resources and resolutely directed the implementation of policies and guidelines to improve the investment and business environment.
Up to now, Dak Nong’s efforts to improve the investment and business environment have been highly appreciated by the business community. This is reflected in the PCI assessment results in recent years.
Most impressively, in 2023, Dak Nong had a strong breakthrough when the provincial PCI index rose to 21st place, up 17 places compared to 2022. This is the highest result that Dak Nong has achieved in the past 20 years.
Previously, in 2022, Dak Nong's PCI index increased 14 places in ranking, from 52/63 in 2021 to 38/63 provinces and cities. In particular, some component indexes have high rankings such as: Time cost (ranked 6); Transparency (ranked 17); Dynamism of provincial government (ranked 23).
At the meeting with businessmen of Dak Nong province, taking place on October 9, 2024, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Dak Nong Provincial People's Committee Ho Van Muoi affirmed that the above results are the result of the efforts and high political determination of the entire Party Committee and government.
Along with that is the drastic and close direction and management of the authorities at all levels. Especially the solidarity, determination, joint efforts and consensus of the entire political system, business community and people of Dak Nong province.
Assessing the investment and business environment in Dak Nong in recent years, Mr. Le Trong Thiet, Director of Nam Hai Construction Company Limited, Cu Jut District, said that the investment environment has improved significantly. Administrative procedures and all project information are public and transparent, making it much easier for businesses to access.
Regularly grasping and sharing activities with businesses is a new change of Dak Nong government that was very rare before. Exchanges between authorities at all levels and businesses have become more open.
"This is a prerequisite to help businesses be frank and have more opportunities to share difficulties, problems, and propose solutions during their operations," Mr. Thiet shared.
Chairman of the Dak Nong Provincial Business Association Nguyen Tri Ky emphasized that the business investment environment has been greatly improved. Many solutions have been actively implemented by the government, contributing to creating an investment environment, minimizing procedures and inconveniences for businesses.
“Support policies are more timely. The province understands, shares and accompanies businesses in their difficulties and problems. This helps Dak Nong businesses to be more confident in their production and business activities,” said Mr. Ky.
Dak Nong currently has about 3,800 private enterprises operating, with a total registered capital of over VND37,000 billion. To date, Dak Nong has attracted 412 non-budget investment projects, with a registered capital of about VND85,500 billion.
