The decision is viewed as a bold move to strongly improve economic management capacity and investment climate for the provincial socio-economic development.
The province’s business association holds a training course for interviewers for the trial implementation of the DDCI in 2021.
The index measures levels of satisfaction among firms, co-operatives, and business households in various aspects of districts and departments’ economic management capacity and business climate improvement.
The issuance of the DDCI and its trial run this year, along with the planned official application in 2022, aim to realise a target stated in the Resolution of the province’s 17th Party congress for the 2020-25 tenure, which is to improve Hoa Binh’s ranking in the provincial competitiveness index (PCI) by at least three places each year during the 2021-25 period.
The DDCI comprises nine component sub-indexes, including joining the market and licensing; transparency in information access and fairness; and quality of public services and single window system, among others.
The provincial People’s Committee assigns the local business association to build plans for conducting surveys and completion of questionnaires, as well as report on the rankings of districts and departments, which will serve as reference for future implementation.
The issuance of the DDCI is expected to bolster the competition among districts, city, and departments, therefore creating a stronger momentum for administrative reform and favourable conditions for investment and production in all spheres.
It will also provide a reliable, open and transparent channel for investors, firms, co-operatives and business households, to contribute their ideas to the local administrations./.
