Review and update full project information

Reporting at the working session, Deputy Minister of Finance Do Thanh Trung said that according to the information compiled on the database system of the Steering Committee on resolving backlogged projects (System 751), as of December 8, 2025, Ho Chi Minh City (after the merger) had 402 projects with difficulties and problems with a total scale of 9,939.4 hectares; total investment of VND 265,507.01 billion.

In which, classified by project groups proposed for handling according to authority: The group of projects proposed to apply the special mechanism in Resolution No. 170/2024/QH15 of the National Assembly is 3 projects. The group of investment projects under the public-private partnership (PPP) method, Build-Transfer (BT) contract is 20 projects. The group of projects with difficulties and problems under the handling authority of ministries, branches and localities is 244 projects. The group of local projects determined to be under the handling authority of the Government, Prime Minister, ministries and central agencies is 5 projects. The group of project lists proposed to be revoked because they have been handled, no longer have difficulties and problems or have a handling plan is 130 projects.

After reviewing, the Ministry of Finance found that the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City has not fully reported the number of projects with difficulties and problems on System 751; in fact, there are a number of projects that have had inspection, examination and judgment conclusions but have not been reviewed and proposed specific policy mechanisms in Resolution No. 170/2024/QH15 to handle problems according to the instructions in the Prime Minister's dispatches and the guidance of the Ministry of Finance. This may lead to the omission or omission of projects that are eligible for resolution according to the Politburo's policies and the National Assembly's Resolution.

Deputy Minister of Finance Do Thanh Trung requested the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City to direct agencies to review and update full information on projects and solutions to remove difficulties and obstacles on System 751 so that the Steering Committee can monitor and synthesize reports to the Government for handling policies.

Speaking at the meeting, leaders of ministries and branches who are members of the Steering Committee said that recently, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee has actively and focused on implementing drastic directions to remove difficulties and obstacles for projects and land that have been backlogged for a long time in the city to free up resources and put projects into use soon, serving development goals.

Focus on directing resolutely and effectively the review and resolution of obstacles and difficulties for projects under the authority of Ho Chi Minh City, ensuring that no violations, waste or losses occur, and no new violations occur.

For projects under the jurisdiction of central agencies and the Government, the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City needs to carefully review and specifically report the project's problems on System 751; clarify the specific causes of problems and classify them, propose solutions to send to ministries, branches, and industry management agencies for coordination in handling or receive instructions on handling.

Some opinions suggested that Ho Chi Minh City continue to pay attention to improving the investment and business environment, enhancing competitiveness, promoting administrative reform, creating new development space for enterprises; focusing on applying digital transformation, building digital government, developing digital economy and digital society; focusing on mobilizing maximum resources to complete the key and important infrastructure system to connect inter-regional centers in the area, meeting production needs, for high-tech parks, industrial parks, especially the International Financial Center that is being implemented.
