NINH THUAN (Biz Hub)— The central province of Ninh Thuan would foster administrative reforms to raise its competitiveness index and become a trusted destination for investors.

The promise was stated by the provincial People's Committee chairman, Nguyen Duc Thanh, at a conference late last week.

Ninh Thuan jumped 28 places to the 18th position out of 63 cities and provinces. The annual index is based on a survey conducted by the Viet Nam Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The province was praised by enterprises for its efforts to cut costs for business start-ups, reduce informal costs and cut time spent on bureaucratic procedures and inspection, the survey said.

Its labour training policies and creative provincial leadership in solving problems for enterprises were also appreciated.—VNS
