Ben Tre speeds up disbursement of public investment capital

Disbursing public investment capital is one of Ben Tre 's key tasks. From the beginning of 2024, the Provincial People's Committee has had a specific plan, proactively allocating investment capital quickly to units and localities, and closely inspecting and monitoring all stages.

According to the Department of Planning and Investment of Ben Tre province, the total planned investment capital from the state budget managed by the province in 2024 is 4,422,240 million VND. As of May 17, 2024, 1,189,603 million VND had been disbursed, reaching 26.90% of the plan. Of this, 1,100,131 million VND of the planned capital for the year has been disbursed, reaching 26.66% of the plan. 89,472 million VND of the carried-over capital has been disbursed, reaching 30.21% of the plan.

With the timely and proper allocation of public investment capital for 2024, favorable conditions have been created for investors and localities in Ben Tre province to proactively implement investments from the beginning of the year, ensuring timely disbursement according to the plan. Many investment sources have achieved good disbursement rates: investment capital from lottery revenue, provincial budget balance capital, investment capital from local budget deficits, investment capital under targeted programs and socio -economic recovery and development programs, and national targeted program capital…

Regarding national key projects, as of May 14, 2024, the Rach Mieu 2 Bridge construction project connecting Tien Giang and Ben Tre provinces has completed a total output value of approximately VND 1,533.365/VND 3,302.882 billion, equivalent to 46.43% of the project progress. To date, land handover has reached 17.15 km/17.16 km (approximately 97.4%). Specifically, Ben Tre province has handed over 9.65/9.65 km (100%), and Tien Giang province has handed over 7.5/7.95 km (94.3%).

According to the My Thuan Project Management Board - the project's investor, the overall Rach Mieu 2 Bridge project is basically on schedule, with the Rach Mieu 2 Bridge section exceeding the planned schedule. However, the road section is experiencing localized delays due to delayed land handover in some sections and some sections that have not yet received land handover for construction. Currently, 3 out of 6 bridges have been completed, with the remaining 3 under construction. 13.74 km out of 14.07 km of the road section has been completed, with 0.33 km remaining for which land has not yet been handed over. It is expected that 70% of the project will be completed by the end of 2024, with the goal of completing the road section and smaller bridges on the Ben Tre and Tien Giang sides in 2024, and the entire project in 2025.

To expedite the disbursement of public investment capital, in the coming period, the Ben Tre Provincial People's Committee will direct the Task Force for inspecting the disbursement of public investment capital in 2024 to urgently review, inspect, resolve, and remove bottlenecks in the implementation and disbursement of projects by investors, in order to promote the implementation and disbursement of projects in accordance with the law; and promptly advise and propose to the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee to report to the Government and the Prime Minister on newly arising issues that are beyond their authority.

The Ben Tre Provincial People's Committee also requested that investors currently managing projects funded by central ministries and agencies in the province coordinate with the People's Committees of districts and cities where the investment projects are located to complete land clearance, creating favorable conditions for the timely implementation of the projects as approved.

Simultaneously, review, consider, and advise on adjusting and reallocating capital appropriately between projects to meet the actual needs of construction implementation; strive to achieve the highest possible disbursement rate of public investment capital in 2024, exceeding 95% of the allocated plan as directed by the Government and the People's Committee of Ben Tre province, in accordance with the spirit of Official Letter No. 2221/UBND-TCĐT dated April 11, 2024.
