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.

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.

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.

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).
