Mr. Pham Van Binh - Director of Gia Lai Department of Industry and Trade said: The Vietnam E-commerce Panorama Forum 2025 is a particularly important event in the context of the rapid development of the Vietnamese e-commerce market. Here, the market panorama, breakthrough technology trends, innovative business models and the announcement of the Vietnam E-commerce Index 2025 are important bases for Gia Lai to review its position on the Vietnam E-commerce map. Accordingly, Gia Lai province's E-commerce Index in 2025 increased by 9 ranks compared to 2024, reaching 5.6 points and ranking 37th out of 63 provinces and cities. This result was achieved thanks to the efforts of local authorities and the support of businesses in the province. Although it increased by 9 ranks compared to 2024, compared to 63 provinces and cities, it is still low due to low Human Resources and Information Technology Infrastructure index (ranked 46/63).

The E-commerce Index helps agencies, organizations and businesses to evaluate the level of e-commerce application and compare progress between years in each locality; at the same time, it supports the evaluation and comparison between localities based on a system of indicators. The E-commerce Index is synthesized from three component indicators with the following weights: Human Resources and Information Technology Infrastructure Index 20%; E-commerce Transaction Index between businesses and consumers (B2C) 40%; E-commerce Transaction Index between businesses and businesses (B2B) 40%.
