The results achieved by the two PCI and PAR INDEX in 2022 are particularly prominent. With this result, it is necessary to continue to renew thinking, change working style, and apply the view of "People are subject to service; Enterprises are driving force and resource for development process."

Besides the positive results, there are still many shortcomings that need to be overcome. The first thing is that some officials and civil servants have standard deviation in motivation, leading to the attitude and behavior of choosing easy task. The second thing is that some officials and civil servants have an indifferent and insensitive attitude to citizens, (the status of processing dossiers and procedures is still troublesome, delayed, especially harassing), making people go back and forth many times.

Among the 10 sub-indexes of PCI, Long An has 5 groups that have gained points, while 5 groups have declined (including market entry, land access, business support policies, training labor; legal institutions).

And especially this year, for the first time, VCCI introduced and announced the Provincial Green Index (PGI) of 63 provinces and cities through the perspective of businesses on the level of environmentally friendly technology application of local businesses.

Through the report and analysis of the Department of Planning and Investment, the Department of Home Affairs evaluated  the PCI, PAR INDEX, PAPI, which shows that over the past time, provincial leaders and local authorities have had many efforts to improve the indicators but have not achieved high efficiency compared to the requirements. There are still barriers, bottlenecks, inadequacies in management, administration and performance of official duties.

The above shortcomings and limitations stem from causes such as land policies and administrative procedures. In particular, many officials handling administrative procedures related to people and businesses have not really supported, and tried to return the documents instead of handling administrative procedures. This causes many difficulties for businesses and people./.
