IV. SOLUTIONS
1. Evaluate the current compilation process of GRDP of central-affiliated cities or provinces.
The GRDP compilation shall be checked and evaluated for explaining the reasons for the more and more considerable difference between local data and central data in order to form real grounds for constructing and developing the innovation of GRDP compilation process in the next period.
2. Constitute sources of input information for compiling GRDP of central-affiliated cities or provinces.
The sources of input information for GRDP compilation are constituted by the consistent and effective combination of forms of collecting statistical information in conformity with region-based statistical methods for reducing the difference between local GDP data and central GDP data.
Besides the improvement of the quality of information collected by centralized statistical systems, sources of information from Ministries/regulatory bodies and local government shall be exploited and used for ensuring the consistency of sources of input information, sufficiency of scope and elimination of overlapping information.
3. Formulate policies for combination, provision and sharing of statistical information between Ministries/regulatory bodies and Ministry of Planning and Investment (General Statistics Office of Vietnam).
Policies for provision and sharing of statistical information between Ministries/regulatory bodies and Ministry of Planning and Investment (General Statistics Office of Vietnam) are adopted for reflecting primary socio-economic changes and situations of the whole country and of each central-affiliated city or province in an adequate and timely manner.
The input information from Ministries/regulatory bodies is mainly extracted from initial sources of information and existing administrative dossiers, particularly information about state budget revenues and collections at provincial level, information about credit, security, railway transport, air transport, post and telecommunications, electricity and other specific activities of each province. In the short term, the information in the "List of information provided by Ministries/regulatory bodies to serve the compilation of GRDP of central-affiliated cities or provinces” should be provided and shared with Ministry of Planning and Investment (General Statistics Office of Vietnam) in order to compile GRDP (according to the Annex of information enclosed herein).
4. Improve and enhance the quality of tools for compiling the GRDP of central-affiliated cities or provinces.
Methods of investigating and collecting information are improved and coefficients serving the GRDP compilation shall be set up, including the table of intermediate cost coefficients.
The price system and price index are improved in terms of quantity, and the quality of information is enhanced in order to meet requirements on calculation of price indexes at both current prices and comparative prices. The following price indexes must be sufficiently collected and compiled: Producer Price Index (PPI), construction price index, raw materials price index, import and export price index, consumer price index (CPI), social cost-of-living index (SCOLI) and other price indexes.
5. Develop and apply information technology and communications, and computerize the compilation, announcement, dissemination and retention of GRDP of central-affiliated cities or provinces.
Computer application software is constructed and developed in order to automating the processing, summation, analysis and forecasting of GRDP. The input statistical information is computerized and shared between Ministries/regulatory bodies, local governments and Ministry of Planning and Investment (General Statistics Office of Vietnam) to serve the compilation of GRDP, and the output GRDP is provided, announced and disseminated by Ministry of Planning and Investment (General Statistics Office of Vietnam) to users. A centralized database of national accounts is set up at Ministry of Planning and Investment (General Statistics Office of Vietnam). The information technology infrastructure is invested in a comprehensive manner in order to meet development requirements for the statistics on national accounts in general and the compilation of GRDP in particular.
6. Improve the competence and quality of human resources and other resources to serve the compilation of GRDP of central-affiliated cities or provinces.
The sector statistics shall be re-organized in conformity with the innovation of the System of national accounts compilation process in general and the GRDP compilation process in particular in a centralized and specialized way. Officials in charge of preparing statistics on the national accounts must be sufficiently assigned. The training, recruitment, management and use of human resources in statistics on the national accounts must be innovated by improving their profession and working skills in statistical activities. Human resources shall be improved in terms of quantity and quality, and material facilities are constructed in a sufficient manner in order to improve the competence for facilitating the innovation of the GRDP compilation process.
