(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./.
