Regarding improvements to the Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI), Tay Ninh provincial leaders stated that the core objective was not to compete for rankings or achievements, but to use the index as a tool for reviewing and standardizing institutions, administrative procedures and processes. This approach aims to build a service-oriented administration that meets the needs of citizens and the business community, thereby laying a foundation for socio-economic development.

Through the cooperation agreement for the 2026–2030 period, Tay Ninh Province aims to establish a more transparent, secure and business-friendly environment. Provincial leaders have set the goal of achieving double-digit economic growth in 2026 and subsequent years, keeping pace with the development trends of major economic centres in the region.

Accompanying the Locality's Rapid Growth

Recognizing the province's efforts, VCCI President Ho Sy Hung congratulated Tay Ninh on its impressive economic performance in the first nine months of 2026. With estimated GRDP growth of 10.05%–10.3%, Tay Ninh continued to rank among the country's top 10 localities. The province has not only maintained stable growth momentum but also made positive contributions to national import-export turnover and state budget revenue.

VCCI President Ho Sy Hung stated that VCCI would support Tay Ninh's double-digit growth target, with industry and construction expected to account for 55%–56% of the province's economic structure. To help the locality achieve this target, VCCI will focus on three key growth drivers: accelerating administrative reform and institutional improvements; developing human resources in conjunction with science, technology and innovation; and upgrading transport infrastructure while strengthening regional connectivity.

In the coming period, VCCI will support Tay Ninh in implementing targeted investment promotion activities, prioritizing the attraction of major corporations in sectors such as digital technology, automation and green growth. At the same time, VCCI will connect and support local businesses in expanding export markets and participating more deeply in global supply chains.
