PCI is the result of a major ongoing, collaborative effort between the VCCI and the USAID to enhance provincial economic governance to create a business-enabling environment for private sector development in Viet Nam.
The PCI is designed to assess the ease of doing business, economic governance, and the efficacy of administrative reform efforts by local governments in all cities and provinces across Viet Nam and municipalities. At the same time, it positions Viet Nam's attractiveness through investors' assessments and reflects expectations about reform efforts in the near future.
