| PROVINCIAL PCI DIAGNOSTICS |
|
|
|
This section provides information on a particular province's performance in the PCI. Firm survey results on particular indicators are also presented so as to enable better understanding of firm perceptions of the regulatory environment. Please go to Benchmarking should you wish to benchmark your select province with any other province(s) or over a range of years. |
|
| PROVINCIAL RANKING BY PCI SCORES IN THE CLUSTER |
 |
|
|
The select province is compared against other provinces in the regional cluster, and also with national scores. |
|
 |
| |
|
| STAR GRAPHS BY SUB-INDEX |
|
|
|
|
These graphs illustrate the performance of the province in each sub-index in comparison with the national max, min and median values. In the following graphs, sub-indices are denoted in the numeric format (e.g. 1, 2, 3, etc.) for convenience. Full legends of the denotations are provided in the Data Table immediately underneath the graphs.
How to interprete the graphs
Left-hand side graph (Province versus Max and Min Values): Each inward line represents a sub-index and is scaled on a 10-point basis (10 = outer-most end-points) to measure the performance of the select province in a particular sub-index.
The green- and brown-shaded areas represent the national maximum and minimum values in each individual sub-index, respectively. The orange area provides us a snapshot of the select province's performance in all sub-indices. A relatively strong performing province would have an area that expands as large as the green shape. A relatively poor performing province would have an area that approaches the size of the brown shape.
In short, this graph tells us how a province performs relatively to the best or worst performer in a particular sub-index. And in order to enhance its local business environment, each province should target to enlarge its area to be as close to the perfect shape as possible.
Right-hand side graph (Province versus Median Values): In this case, the green area represents the national median values. Hence, this graph tells us how a province scores relative to a province which ranks in the middle of the national sample in a particular sub-index.

Below is the ranking of the province by specific sub-index in comparison to the rest of the country. The vertical axis denotes sub-indices. The horizontal axis is scaled based on the number of provinces included in the PCI rankings (e.g. from 1 to 42 and 64 for the years of 2005 and 2006 respectively). The length of a bar reflects the relative ranking of a particular province. The longer the bar is, the higher the province has been ranked in comparison to the rest of the country. |
