The Hai Phong Economic Zone Authority (HEZA) on September 13 launched its management and operation system (e-HEZA).

The system is set to make it easer for the HEZA in the management work, while helping to reform administrative procedures, thus improving administration reform index of the authority.

Through the system, it takes only one day to complete the grant of licences instead of up to 20 days in the past. The system also shortens the timing of data reports by enterprises.

Le Anh Quan, Vice Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee, said the launch of the system has mirrored the HEZA’s strong determination to complete its assigned tasks.

The application of information-technology and digital transformation will contribute to raising the operational efficiency of the authority, and turning Hai Phong into an investment magnet, he said.

Quan asked the HEZA to coordinate with businesses in training officials in charge of the system, and ensure information security.

In the 2021-2025 period, the northern port city of Hai Phong plans to construct 15 new industrial parks with a total area of over 6,200 hectares.

Last year, the city ranked seventh out of 63 provinces and cities nationwide in the Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI), and second out of 11 provinces and cities in the Red River Delta region./.
