(HBO) – The Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee on May 19 held a teleconference of the steering board for improving the local investment and business climate and the Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI).
Bui Van Khanh, Vice Secretary of the provincial Party
Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee, addresses the
meeting.
In 2020, the provincial People’s Committee
issued Decision No 97/QD-UBND on a plan to continue carrying out the main tasks
and solutions to improve the business climate and the PCI of Hoa Binh. It also
issued Dispatch No 722/UBND-NC on May 6 last year on the implementation of
activities to raise the province’s ranking in terms of regulatory compliance
costs. A number of working sessions and dialogues were held to tackle
difficulties facing enterprises and investors. Authorities also did a good job
of assisting businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Those efforts have helped improve Hoa Binh’s
position in the PCI rankings by four places, from the 48th in 2019 to the 44th
out of the 63 provincial-level localities, meeting the target set in the
resolution of the 17th provincial Party Congress for the 2020 - 2025 tenure.
To better the province’s score and position in
the PCI rankings as in line with the 17th provincial Party Congress’s
resolution, many officials held that departments, sectors, and localities need
to raise the sense of responsibility towards duties and the working capacity of
personnel in charge of investment attraction, increase vocational training for
labourers, and step up the reform of administrative procedures, especially
shortening the time needed to grant investment licences.
Addressing the event, Chairman of the provincial
People’s Committee Bui Van Khanh appreciated efforts by departments, sectors,
localities, and the local business association in 2020 in helping Hoa Binh go
up in the PCI rankings.
As it is not easy to further improve the
province’s score and ranking, it is necessary for the entire political system
to make stronger efforts, he noted, asking for administrative reforms to be
accelerated and online public services at Level 3 and 4 to be boosted./.
