| Abstract: |
The merger of provincial-level administrative units in Vietnam from 2025 has created a new institutional context in which the operational conditions of the business environment are being restructured. This paper analyzes the prospects for improving the Provincial Competitiveness Index (PCI) through the case of Hung Yen province after its merger with Thai Binh. The study utilizes a qualitative method based on an analysis of PCI data of the 2019–2024 period, combined with a review of policy documents and an institutional–governance perspective. The findings indicate that differences in the reform trajectories of the two localities before the merger simultaneously generate opportunities to raise governance standards and challenges in integrating management systems. In this context, the ability of PCI improvement depends not only on reform efforts but also on the extent of procedural standardization, data integration, and the maintenance of consistency in public service supply. The study shows that merger is not a direct factor of improvements in the PCI, but institutional conditions make changes in the capacity to implement reforms. From an academic perspective, the paper extends the PCI approach by situating this index within the context of large-scale institutional integration, thereby clarifying the role of mediating conditions in improving governance quality. On this basis, the study proposes implementation-oriented solutions to enhance the effectiveness of local economic governance after the merger period. |
