The Deputy PM asked for a concerted effort and responsibility of all Vietnamese enterprises to further improve the national business climate and competitiveness in line with the spirit of the Government’s Resolution No.19.
This is the fourth time in the four consecutive years the Government has issued a Resolution on tasks to improve the business climate and national competitiveness, showing the country’s strategic breakthrough effort in institution reform, with the focus on administrative procedures.

Municipal and provincial authorities were asked to launch one-stop shop models to simplify and reduce time for administrative procedures involving taxes and fees.

By 2020, Vietnam aims to be listed among the top 40 countries ranked by the World Economic Forum in access to loans, achieving the average level of ASEAN 4 countries in competitiveness and that of ASEAN 5 (Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines) in terms of the Global Innovation Index released by the World Intellectual Property Organisation.
In the field of e-government, comprehensive reform will be delpoyed in telecommunications infrastructure, human capital and online service indexes, so that the country will be ranked among the top 80 countries in the UN e-government ranking.
