This is among major tasks that the provincial People’s Committee set during a conference on April 26 to review the local socio-economic performance in April.
Chairman of the committee Dong Van Lam asked sectors and departments with low and fallen component indexes in PCI to find out the reasons for timely improvement.
Meanwhile, the province will also continue speeding up administrative reform and strengthening support to businesses and removing difficulties and obstacles facing them, he requested.
The provincial leader also asked for a close coordination among local agencies in applying the “one-stop-shop” mechanism, while focusing on building the public administrative center to enhance the effectiveness of the government system in renovating and simplifying administrative procedures, thus saving time for locals and enterprises.
