The report conducted by the National Committee for International Economic Cooperation was released on Wednesday. It measures how local economies integrate into the global economy via an economic integration index.
According to the findings, the top positions belong to HCMC, Hanoi, Binh Duong, Ba Ria-Vung Tau and Danang. Meanwhile, localities near the bottom of the list are Soc Trang, Hau Giang, Bac Lieu, Tuyen Quang and Binh Phuoc.
According to Trinh Minh Anh, head of the Post-WTO Entry Program Steering Committee, this is the second time the index has been announced and the first time the index has covered all the nation’s 63 provinces and cities.
Main indicators used in the report are institutions, infrastructure, culture, geographical features, people, trade, investment and tourism.
Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Cam Tu said the report’s major aim was not to rank but to identify impacts of integration on growth and social welfares for the people and business development for enterprises.
The report evaluates the strategic vision and integration capability of each locality so that timely adjustments and recommendations are made to attract resources for sustainable development.
According to former Deputy Prime Minister Vu Khoan, the evaluation of integration capability of each province and city is new. However, the point is to help localities know what they should do to improve.
