Gia Lai province has actively directed all levels of government and sectors to enforce Party and State policies on improving the business environment and enhancing competitiveness in the past years.
Every year, Gia Lai province introduces action plans to execute Resolution 19/NQ-CP and Resolution 35/NQ-CP. Accordingly, it specifically directs provincial agencies and district-level People's Committees, within their jurisdiction, to carry out their functions and tasks to realize all predetermined indicators. On that basis, authorities and localities developed specific plans for each locality and field.
Over the past three years, all levels of authority and sectors have made great efforts to improve the business and investment environment and increase the Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI). According to the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Gia Lai province’s PCI reached 57.42 points, ranked No. 46 out of 63 provinces and cities, and ranked third in the Central Highlands region in 2016.

Every year, Gia Lai province hosts a meeting to analyze its PCI performance to figure out causes and define responsibility of organizations and individuals relating to the increase and decrease of 10 component sub-indices. Then, the province works out an action plan for better PCI performance in the following years, and assign agencies to lead PCI improvement. Based on their assigned tasks, they will actively build specific action plans for their own; thoroughly inform all employees in order to raise the awareness of each employee, to improve the business environment and ensure the fulfillment of their assigned tasks.
The Provincial People’s Committee also introduced the Department and District Competitiveness Index (DDCI) to keep close track of top concerns of enterprises to change the approach to social management at all levels of authority, branches and localities to make the business climate more attractive and the competitiveness sharper to entice more investors to the province. Most importantly, the province will provide the best conditions for local companies to pursue sustainable development.
