On the afternoon of May 20, the People's Committee of Thanh Hoa province held a conference to announce the Provincial Department, Branch and District People's Committee Competitiveness Index (DDCI) of Thanh Hoa province in 2023.
Accordingly, in the block of People's Committees of districts, towns and cities, there are 6 units ranked in the good group including: Hoang Hoa, Sam Son City, Nong Cong, Tho Xuan, Dong Son, Thanh Hoa City. Hoang Hoa District holds the "champion" position of Thanh Hoa DDCI in 2023 with a score of 90.83, followed by Sam Son City People's Committee with 89.94 points; Nong Cong District People's Committee with 85.01 points. The remaining 9 localities are ranked in the good group; 12 localities are ranked in the average group.
The median score of Thanh Hoa DDCI in 2023 is 60.99 points, 6.2 points lower than the median score in 2022. This shows that the overall management quality of units as assessed by the provincial business community has not improved compared to the previous year.
Mr. Do Dinh Hieu, Director of VCCI Thanh Hoa - Ninh Binh.
In terms of score improvement, 10/27 units improved in 2023, of which 3 units with the most impressive improvement were Nong Cong district, Hoang Hoa district and Sam Son city, each unit had a score increase of over 12 points compared to the previous year.
On the contrary, 17/27 units had their scores reduced compared to last year, of which the biggest reductions were in Nhu Thanh district (down 28.27 points), Quan Son district (-16.28 points), Tho Xuan district (-13.89 points), Quan Hoa district (-12.64 points) and Nga Son district (-10.78 points).
The change in the scores of localities leads to significant fluctuations in the rankings of units in the district-level People's Committee block on the DDCI 2023 ranking compared to 2022. Specifically, out of 27 units, no unit maintains the same ranking as the previous year; 14 units increased in rank and 13 others decreased in rank.
Among the units that were promoted, Yen Dinh district improved the most with a 16-rank increase, from 26th place in the 2022 rankings to 10th place in the 2023 rankings. Next is Bim Son town, increasing 12 ranks, from 20th place in 2022 to 8th place in 2023.
In the block of departments and branches, the Department of Industry and Trade is the leading unit, with 88.01 points. The following positions belong to the Provincial People's Committee Office (86.31 points), the Customs Department (85.51 points), the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (85.04 points), the Provincial Inspectorate (81.61 points) and the Department of Planning and Investment (80.10 points). These are also 6 units classified in the "good" group, with significantly higher scores than the remaining units. In addition, there are 8 units in the good group and 10 units in the average group.
The median score of the DDCI of the department, agency, and sector in 2023 is 60.76 points, lower than the median score in 2022 (66.80 points). The median score of the entire sector decreased, showing that the scores of units in the upper half of the ranking tend to decrease compared to the previous year.
Speaking at the announcement ceremony, Mr. Do Dinh Hieu, Director of VCCI Thanh Hoa - Ninh Binh, said that 2023 is the third year that Thanh Hoa province has implemented the Thanh Hoa DDCI Project with greater expectations. With that mindset, the Thanh Hoa DDCI survey process was carried out more carefully by the project's implementing unit, with the main method being field trips, direct contact with businesses, and propaganda about the province's efforts to improve the business investment environment, about PCI, DDCI and the responsibilities and rights of businesses.
Verification and cross-checking of survey respondents' information was also carried out at a larger rate than in 2022. The Thanh Hoa DDCI 2023 results report was carried out in accordance with regulations, ensuring objectivity and independence under the close supervision of the DDCI Working Group and without any impact on the published results.
The Thanh Hoa DDCI index in 2023 retains 8 components: Transparency and access to information; Dynamism and role of the leader; Time costs; Informal costs; Fair competition; Business support; Legal institutions; Land access.
In which, the indexes from 1 to 7 are used to score and rank the group of 25 provincial departments, branches and sectors; the indexes from 1 to 8 are used to score and rank the group of 27 People's Committees at district, town and city levels.
In addition, DDCI Thanh Hoa in 2023 also surveyed some contents that are not used to calculate scores and rank between units in the same group, but have a great impact on the production and business activities of enterprises, clarifying the business environment of the province, providing input information to determine solutions to improve the competitiveness of the evaluated units, contributing to improving the competitiveness of the province in the coming years, such as: Market entry; labor training; effectiveness of the judicial system; support needs of enterprises...
It is estimated that nearly 8,000 enterprises have accessed the questionnaire and were invited to participate in the survey in various forms, accounting for about 30% of the number of enterprises operating in the province.
After receiving the survey forms, VCCI Thanh Hoa - Ninh Binh verified the information of enterprises and respondents. As a result, after screening and verifying the information, there were 2,751 valid survey forms for data processing and calculation; including 1,348 survey forms evaluating departments, branches and sectors and 1,403 survey forms evaluating district-level People's Committees.
On behalf of the business community, Chairman of Thanh Hoa Provincial Business Association, Mr. Cao Tien Doan affirmed that, from the perspective and voice of the business community, the results of the DDCI announcement today are a testament to the one-year journey of socio-economic management of the provincial authorities at all levels. This is an important basis for departments, branches and localities in the province to review their management methods, from which to have strong solutions to improve in the coming time, especially decisions that directly impact the production and business activities of enterprises.
At the same time, Thanh Hoa Provincial Business Association pledges to continue to closely coordinate with VCCI Thanh Hoa - Ninh Binh to fulfill its mission of representing the voice of the business community; encouraging and spreading to businesses the responsibility of participating in assessing the management capacity of units that they regularly contact, thereby building Thanh Hoa into a locality with a healthy, open, dynamic and comprehensive business environment.

The Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee said that in 2023, the province's PCI has shown good signs, with an increase of 17 ranks compared to the previous year, and is one of the localities with a breakthrough in rankings. This is a welcome signal, also a reflection and worthy recognition of the efforts and determination of the entire political system in improving the PCI ranking of Thanh Hoa province in the past time; including the implementation of the DDCI Index. However, Mr. Thi also said that Thanh Hoa still has many challenges to be able to enter the group of 10 localities leading the country in the PCI index by 2025.
