Ho Chi Minh City is carrying out a survey targeting 50,000 individuals and businesses to hear their opinions on the capacity of the city’s departments, sectors, and cities and districts, which will be used as a basis to improve the investment environment.

Of the 50,000 surveys sent out, the municipal People’s Committee expects to receive a response from some 15,000 businesses, cooperatives, and individual business households, said Deputy Chairman of the People’s Committee Vo Van Hoan.

This is the second year the city has conducted the survey. In the 2022 survey, the results of which were announced last May, Thu Duc City and the Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs were at the bottom in terms of competitiveness, while Phu Nhuan district and the Department of Science and Technology topped the list.

This year, the city focuses more on the participation of FDI enterprises, to evaluate its investment attraction policies. There will also be in-depth interviews with 20-30 strategic investors with major projects in the city.

Indicators will include access to information transparency and digital transformation; time cost; informal cost; business support activities; the green index - based on city authorities’ directions in promoting the green economy; and health and the environment.
