Guangdong's overall public service score is 74.63 points, 1.12 points higher than last year and the highest it has achieved in a decade. Public utilities and market services, education, and transport are the highest rated among 10 categories of public services.

The public is the most satisfied with law-based administration but sees room for improvement in administrative approval procedures.

More than 80 percent of the interviewees recognize the effectiveness of the "At Most One Visit" reform, which allows a faster and more streamlined process when dealing with governmental affairs.
