Long An strives to improve PCI in 2022

At the conference

Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee - Nguyen Van Duoc, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee - Nguyen Van Ut chaired the conference. Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council - Mai Van Nhieu, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee - Nguyen Minh Lam and leaders of provincial departments and branches attended the conference.

In 2021, the province's PCI reached 66.58 points; ranked 16th out of 63 provinces and cities in the whole country; ranked 3rd out of 13 provinces and cities in the Mekong Delta. Compared to 2020, the province's PCI decreased by 3.79 points and 13 ranks on the national PCI rankings. This was the deepest drop in the last 5 years.

In the 10 sub-indexes, 2 indexes have increased (business support policies; legal institution) and 8 indexes have decreased compared to 2020, especially 4 indicators of land accessibility; transparency; time costs and informal costs.

There were many objective and subjective reasons causing the province's PCI in 2021 to drop sharply in both scores and rankings on the national PCI rankings compared to 2020. Specifically, the first cause was the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic. Next, agencies and units were not really interested in monitoring, evaluating and improving the component indicators; identify the causes and propose solutions to improve the provincial competitiveness index, etc.
