To ensure 100% disbursement of public investment capital plans, the Ministry of Finance recommends that ministries, branches and localities proactively implement many solutions, in the context of restructuring administrative units and implementing a two-level local government model.
Localities need to review and adjust capital plans accordingly. Ongoing work such as planning, appraisal, site clearance, construction, acceptance, payment, etc. must be carried out continuously, without interruption. Legal documents must be handed over completely and clearly; investors and project management boards must coordinate closely with departments, branches and sectors to ensure that disbursement progress is not blocked.
The Ministry of Finance also emphasized the need to prioritize removing difficulties in site clearance - the biggest bottleneck slowing down project progress. Localities must mobilize the participation of leaders and the entire political system to thoroughly handle the situation of "projects waiting for site clearance".
For projects using ODA capital, investors need to closely monitor progress, promptly handle problems and difficulties in project implementation and disbursement, and direct the focus on promoting disbursement of projects that have completed investment procedures, bidding, and contract signing.
With local budget capital, the Ministry of Finance proposed to accelerate budget collection, especially from land, to ensure capital allocation progress.
Key projects, especially in the transport sector, need to be accelerated to complete at least 3,000 km of highways by 2025; over 1,000 km of coastal roads by 2025; urge to accelerate the implementation of important projects, large projects that meet the prescribed conditions.
The Ministry of Finance also requested localities and ministries to develop disbursement plans for each month and quarter; resolutely cut capital from slow-moving projects to transfer to projects with good progress.
Chairing the recent conference to promote public investment growth, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh requested determination to disburse 100% of public investment capital in 2025 (the previous target was 95%). The Prime Minister emphasized that the results of public investment disbursement are an important basis for assessing the level of task completion and evaluating officials. If they are not completed, they must be reviewed and handled.
