Among the 14 sub-indices, seven were in the 60th – 63rd
positions, four in the 43rd – 45th places, and only three in the top 30. Local competent agencies explained that the COVID-19
pandemic, overlapping legal regulations, the inefficiency in coordination
between relevant agencies and localities, along with sluggishness in
administrative procedures and land-related information supply are among the
reasons behind the poor performance.
Speaking at a recent meeting of the steering board for
improving the business environment and improving the PCI, Chairman of the
provincial People’s Committee Bui Van Khanh stressed the need to identify
responsibilities of departments, agencies and localities concerned to the
indices, including the one on land access. Local enterprises hope that with efforts by provincial
leaders, the announcement of land use plans and relevant administrative
procedures, as well as the completion of land dossiers will be sped up.
In addition, mechanisms and policies on site clearance and
compensation, and land price assessment are expected to be adjusted. There would be also improvements in the handling of
administrative procedures at land registration offices, thus raising confidence
and satisfaction of businesses and people./.
