The Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee has issued a plan to deploy a survey and assessment of the competitiveness of departments, branches, sectors and localities (DDCI) of Ho Chi Minh City in 2025.

Accordingly, the city will survey and evaluate 17 departments, branches and sectors; 4 vertical agencies and 168 wards, communes and special zones. For departments, branches and sectors, the survey will be conducted through indicators such as access to transparent information and digital transformation; informal costs; time costs; fair competition; business support; legal institutions; dynamism, creativity and operational efficiency of units; green index; health and living environment index. As for localities, in addition to the above indicators, there will be an additional index of land accessibility and stability in land use.

The People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City requested to continue updating and supplementing the subjects to be evaluated as well as the criteria of specific and distinct nature, suitable for the transfer of functions and tasks of departments, branches and localities into the system of indicators and criteria for evaluating DDCI to build survey forms and serve propaganda work when implementing the evaluation of DDCI of Ho Chi Minh City.

The DDCI index system needs to be updated and supplemented appropriately and with the methodology of the Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI), fully reflecting the criteria corresponding to the component indexes in the national PCI index set, suitable for each group of subjects and having the consensus of relevant agencies and the Ho Chi Minh City DDCI Assessment Council.

Along with that, there must be consultation with experts, scientists and the business community, investors, and business households. The survey content must be specific, practical, and appropriate to the interests and actual experiences of businesses, investors, and business households in the process of contacting and implementing public administrative services and administrative procedures with departments, branches, sectors, and localities.

The survey results are synthesized, analyzed, and evaluated fully and scientifically (based on the principle of non-intervention); ensuring a substantive and objective assessment of the implementation of tasks and solutions to improve the annual business and investment environment of departments, branches, sectors, and People's Committees of communes, wards, and special zones.

The survey results are one of the bases for reviewing and comparing the quality of socio -economic management of departments, branches, sectors, and People's Committees of communes, wards, and special zones. At the same time, they are one of the practical bases for reviewing and evaluating the capacity and role of the heads of departments, branches, sectors, and People's Committees of communes, wards, and special zones.

After the survey results are available, heads of departments, branches, sectors, People's Committees of communes, wards and special zones need to have an action plan to promote positive points and improve indicators that have not achieved the required results.

The Investment and Trade Promotion Center (ITPC) is the agency in charge of coordinating and advising the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee to organize the survey and assessment of DDCI in 2025 to ensure objectivity, fairness and more substantial management capacity of the units. At the same time, proactively monitor, urge and supervise the implementation of the DDCI survey and assessment plan in 2025, ensuring independence, objectivity and honestly reflecting the assessment of the business community on the survey content.
