(HBO) – The Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee has held a conference to announce results of the District and Department Competitiveness Index (DDCI) 2022.
Bui Van Khanh, Vice Secretary of the provincial Party
Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee; and Nguyen Van
Toan, Standing Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee, present
certificates to the outstanding districts and departments in 2022.
In the 2022 DDCI survey, Economica Vietnam and
the Hoa Binh Business Association collected opinions on the performance of
district-level localities from 893 production and business establishments
(mainly business households and some enterprises and cooperatives), and on the
performance of departments from 641 enterprises, cooperatives, and some
business households.
Among the 26 departments and sectors that cover
28 management areas, the provincial Management Board of Industrial Parks ranked
first with 80.04 out of the 100 points, followed by the Hoa Binh branch of the
Vietnam Social Security with 78.58 points and the provincial Department of
Planning and Investment with 77.94 points.
Compared to 2021, the average score of
departments and sectors increased by 2.26 points to 77.8. However, such
improvement was not enough to give a strong impetus to reforms. The score
difference between the best and worst performers is 10.04 points while it was
7.64 last year.
Of the 10 district-level localities, Yen Thuy
district with 85.54 points topped the list. Eight others recorded scores of
between 70 and under 80, namely Hoa Binh city and the districts of Mai Chau,
Luong Son, Kim Boi, Lac Thuy, Tan Lac, Lac Son, and Da Bac. The last is Cao
Phong district with 69.19 points.
Across Hoa Binh province, the sub-index on
informal charges posted the highest score – 8.1 points, up from 7.94 points in
2021. The worst-performing one is market entry, 6.99 points.
Bui Van Khanh, Vice Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of
the provincial People’s Committee, speaks at the conference.
Addressing the event, Bui Van Khanh, Vice
Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial
People’s Committee, asked the localities and departments to analyse the
sub-indexes and improve the low ones so as to better the investment and
business climate and the local competitiveness.
He expressed his hope that enterprises and
investors will coordinate with departments, sectors, and localities to tackle
difficulties and obstacles to contribute to common development of the
province./.
Maximizing local potential and advantages, Yen Tri commune in Yen Thuy district is actively promoting the cultivation of medicinal herbs and turning medicinal herbs into One Commune - One Product (OCOP) products.
Situated at the gateway to the Northwest, Hoa Binh province has a population of over 900,000, including about 540,000 of working age. It is home to 6,000 businesses and production facilities, providing employment for over 100,000 workers. The remaining workforce is engaged in informal jobs, works in enterprises outside the province, or contributes to agro-forestry-fisheries. Additionally, around 3,000 workers are employed abroad.
The Hoa Binh provincial People's Committee has issued Decision No. 2767/QD-UBND announcing the rankings of departments, agencies, districts and Hoa Binh city in the Public Administration Reform Index (PAR) and the Satisfaction Index of Public Administration Services (SIPAS) in 2024.
The cultivation of Dam Xanh fish (Bangana lemassoni), a unique fish species, has seen remarkable growth in Mai Chau district, thanks to its high economic value and effectiveness. Initially concentrated in Van Mai commune, farming has now extended to four other communes, namely Mai Hich, Mai Ha, Chieng Chau, and Son Thuy. These areas benefit from pristine underground water flowing from mountain crevices, providing ideal conditions for raising this specialty fish.
In 2024, the total state budget revenue of Hoa Binh Province is estimated at approximately VND 6,930 billion, achieving 183% of the Government’s target, 126% of the target assigned by the Provincial People's Council, and 145% compared to the same period last year.
In 2024, Hoa Binh province has shown signs of improvement in attracting investment and developing enterprises.
