Disbursement of public investment capital is of special importance.
Reporting to the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Finance said that as of November 6, there were 29 ministries, central agencies and 17 localities with disbursement rates below the national average (54.9%). Notably, some units under the central agencies have not yet disbursed, and there are still ministries and branches that have only achieved less than 10% of the assigned plan.
On the local side, the situation is more positive when the average disbursement progress reached 57.2%, higher than the national average. However, there are still places with low results, with a gap with the remaining localities such as Lai Chau with only 23.8% disbursement, Lam Dong 29.8%.
The progress of public investment disbursement in some provinces has slowed down due to the new capital allocation according to the Prime Minister's decision in October, requiring more time to complete procedures and implementation, including Nghe An and Dien Bien . If the additional capital is not counted, the disbursement rate of the two provinces will be higher than the national average.
As for Dong Nai, if not counting the planned capital of the North-South Expressway construction project in the west, the Gia Nghia - Chon Thanh section, which was allowed by the National Assembly to extend the disbursement period until the end of 2026 by more than VND 8,000 billion, the province's disbursement rate will reach 60%.
Ms. Phi Huong Nga - Head of the Department of Industrial and Construction Statistics, General Statistics Office - commented that the results of implementation and disbursement of public investment capital are of special importance, promoting economic growth this year to reach the target of 8%.
The amount of public investment capital that needs to be implemented in the last two months of the year is still large, however, this is the time when storms often occur. Ms. Nga is concerned that weather factors also affect and disrupt construction work. In addition, site clearance work for many projects is prolonged; preparation, contractor selection, completion of investment procedures, capacity for appraisal, inspection, supervision and construction are still limited.
In addition, the price of materials has increased, there is a shortage of some types of construction materials such as sand, etc. Some investment preparation tasks are still slow due to land procedures and adjustments to detailed planning of construction land. In particular, Ms. Nga said that since July, the implementation of the 2-level local government model has also affected the progress of some projects. These factors have had a certain impact on the overall progress of public investment capital this year.
How to "spend" more than 400,000 billion VND?
To speed up the capital disbursement process, Ms. Phi Huong Nga - Head of the Department of Industrial and Construction Statistics, General Statistics Office - proposed a number of solutions, including the decisive role of the leader. Ministries, branches and localities need to direct investors to urgently speed up the implementation progress, especially with transitional projects and newly started projects that have completed investment procedures. Important and urgent projects that are under investment; have the potential to be completed must be prioritized to speed up progress and complete.
The representative of the General Statistics Office said that it is necessary to enhance the responsibility of leaders in deciding on investment policies and project investment decisions, and to minimize the need for adjustments during implementation.
Units need to develop detailed progress plans for each project by week, month, and quarter, linked with a strict inspection and supervision mechanism; promptly remove obstacles, especially those related to compensation and site clearance.
Along with that, compensation and site clearance work needs to be accelerated. Parties must have plans to ensure the supply of construction materials such as soil, stone, sand, etc. to fully and promptly meet the needs of projects, especially key national transport projects.
Ms. Nga emphasized that during the implementation process, ministries, branches and localities must promptly adjust to transfer capital to projects with good progress, quick disbursement, and the ability to complete within the year but have not yet been allocated enough capital.
Mr. Le Tien Dung - Deputy Director of the Department of Infrastructure Development, Ministry of Finance - said that since the beginning of the year, the Ministry of Finance has submitted to the Government and the Prime Minister the establishment of 8 working groups headed by Government leaders, working directly with ministries, branches and localities to identify, urge and remove difficulties and obstacles, and promote disbursement of public investment capital.
“The Ministry recommends that localities assign specific leaders responsible for monitoring project progress, promptly removing difficulties and obstacles, making detailed disbursement plans for each project, and controlling public investment disbursement progress on a weekly, monthly, and quarterly basis,” Mr. Dung emphasized.
