The Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) in coordination with the Vietnam Competitiveness Initiative (VNCI) will release the Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI) 2011 next week in Hanoi.

According to VCCI, in addition to 7,000 private enterprises, the PCI 2011 survey also had the participation of nearly 2,000 foreign-invested enterprises (FIE) nationwide.

The Daily next week will provide the result of the PCI 2011 survey, opinions of local firms and FIEs on the business environment in Vietnam over the past year as well as analyses from the survey result.

PCI indicates the management quality of provinces in correlation with the development of private firms. Besides, the survey collects opinions of firms regarding the business environment in each province.
