Besides the achieved results, the Department still has some limitations stemming from many subjective and objective causes.
Specifically, the issue of awareness of digital transformation in some units under the Ministry has not been focused on and is considered urgent, so actions have not been drastic and ineffective; there has been no initiative in implementing database construction; coordination between units within the Ministry has not been effective; facilities and infrastructure for individuals and units are still lacking in synchronization; legal regulations, regulations and rules of the industry regarding the Ministry's digital transformation and e-commerce development also have many limitations.
