A two-place drop in the 2023 PCI (Provincial Competitiveness Index) in the rankings notwithstanding, many component indexes have improved significantly, speaking volumes for the province's efforts in improving the investment and business environment in recent years.

Thua Thien Hue prioritizes mobilizing resources, focusing on accelerating investment in key infrastructure development projects. At the same time, the city gradually improves the investment environment to attract more large enterprises.

Economic and industrial zones in the province are key areas for attracting investment. However, in order to capture the attention of significant investors, it is necessary to create an open environment with many solutions to support businesses. Regarding this issue, Thua Thien Hue Weekly had an exchange with Mr. Le Van Tue, Head of the Provincial Economic and Industrial Zones Management Board.

Strongly improving the investment and business environment has been helping Thua Thien Hue gain a competitive advantage, and attract domestic as well as foreign investments. This also presents an opportunity and favorable conditions for the province to continue promoting investment activities with a strategic focus.

In the context of economic difficulties nationwide, leading to a decline in investment capital, Thua Thien Hue is gradually asserting itself as an attractive investment destination with great potential and prospects, coupled with an increasingly favorable environment, especially in terms of attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) capital.

Public investment resources play a significant role in speeding up economic, political, and social development, especially in the construction of economic and social infrastructure, creating a favorable environment for production, business, and enterprise activities. In the face of recent challenges in this field, Thua Thien Hue Weekly had a discussion with the Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, Mr. Phan Quy Phuong.

On December 9, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Binh, Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee had a courtesy meeting with Mr. Kazuyoshi Aoki, CEO of Canvas Gate Company (Japan).

Within the context of deepening economic integration and fierce competition, Thua Thien Hue has always actively grasped the current trends to improve the business investment environment and attract more investors. This is shared by Mr. Phan Quoc Son, Deputy Director of the Department of Planning and Investment (DPI).

Foreign investment is an important impetus for the development of economy and society in Hue. It is a sector which is strong on funds, technology, management ability, business ability, organization ability, and participation in the global supply chain.
