Vietnam jumps five places in WB’s electricity access rankings
Vietnam has jumped five places to 96th position in terms of electricity access, one of the criteria the World Bank uses to rank 189 economies on the ease of doing business.
Besides electricity access, improvement in four other criteria helped Vietnam rise nine spots in the overall ranking of ease of doing business.
According to WB, the shorter time required for getting an electricity connection is achieved by reducing both the number of procedures and the duration taken to carry out steps in providing electricity.
The Electricity of Vietnam group said it will continue with efforts to improve electricity access, boost transparency regarding electricity price, and enhance customer service quality and stability in electricity supply to boost competiveness of the economy and better serve customers and society.
