Before deciding to invest in a certain locality, investors always consider the investment environment or competitiveness of the localities and tend to invest in the localities with the highest scores and high rankings on provincial competitiveness in the region. This study focuses on analyzing and evaluating the competitiveness of Nam Dinh province in comparison with other provinces in the Red River Delta. The results show that although Nam Dinh has made a lot of progress in improving the investment environment and increasing the PCI score, the PCI ranking is still not high, even worse than many other provinces in the region. In order to contribute to improving the province's competitiveness in the coming time, this study has proposed a number of possible solutions.
