The Ministry will strive to heighten the business environment and national competitiveness to the average level of ASEAN-3 countries (including Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand) and reduce the time required for tax and social premium payment to under 155 hours/year.

The Ministry also targets to reduce time required for customs clearance to 41 hours for exports and 46 hours for imports by beefing up the reform of customs management and introduction of e-invoices.
