To achieve this goal, the Provincial People's Committee has launched a 45-day emulation campaign to disburse capital for public investment.

Capital disbursement rate is lower than the national average.

According to the Provincial People's Committee, as of May 15, Dong Nai was assigned nearly VND16 trillion in public investment capital for 2025. Of which, the province's disbursed public investment capital was nearly VND1.9 trillion, reaching more than 12% of the plan. Thus, as of mid-May, Dong Nai was one of 27 localities nationwide with a disbursement rate of public investment capital lower than the national average.

According to the Department of Finance, the disbursement rate of the province's ODA by mid-May was still low due to both subjective and objective reasons. The subjective reason is that the projects have construction sites but the project investors have not been determined to urge and promote the construction units to increase equipment and workers to speed up the implementation progress and disbursement progress of ODA. In some projects, contractors have not proactively prepared sufficient materials for construction. The investors have not proactively coordinated with relevant departments, branches and units in the work of establishing, appraising, approving or adjusting the project, designing and implementing after the basic design... At the same time, they have not made an overall assessment of the implementation of each project to anticipate difficulties and problems and promptly propose solutions.

According to Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Vo Tan Duc, the Provincial People's Committee has requested 25 investor units of 153 projects assigned to the 2025 VĐTTC to rebuild the Gantt line of each project, assigning leaders to monitor and direct. Weekly, monthly, and quarterly meetings are held to review and urge the disbursement of the 2025 VĐTTC to achieve the set plan of 100%. This is the criterion for evaluating and classifying leaders at the end of the year, as well as evaluating the arrangement of officials for the next term. Any unit that fails to meet the plan will replace the head of the unit assigned capital.

Along with that, the heads of the investment units and the chairmen of the People's Committees of the district-level localities have not been close and resolute in the work of compensation and project implementation, and have not proactively reviewed investment in resettlement areas according to the direction of the Provincial People's Committee to serve the work of compensation and site clearance.

According to Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Vo Tan Duc, among the group of subjective reasons leading to the low disbursement rate of public investment capital in the province, through analysis and evaluation, the Provincial People's Committee found that the main reason is still the responsibility of the head of the capital allocation agency and the responsibility of localities in site clearance work.

The head must be responsible for the disbursement rate of public investment capital.

Faced with the "sluggish" situation in the disbursement of public investment capital, the Provincial People's Committee has launched a 45-day and night peak to accelerate the disbursement of public investment capital in the province. The province's goal is that by the end of June 2025, Dong Nai must be in the top 10 localities with the highest disbursement rate of public investment capital in the country.

To achieve this goal, at the working session on the disbursement of public investment capital in 2025 in the province on May 13, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Ho Van Ha requested the Department of Finance to review and determine the disbursement rate of public investment capital that the province needs to achieve by the end of June 2025. At the same time, advise the Provincial People's Committee to issue an implementation plan for departments, branches, investment units and localities to implement.

"Heads of units must directly sign the commitment to disburse capital to take responsibility for the implementation process" - Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Ho Van Ha emphasized.

Implementing the plan of the Provincial People's Committee, many investors are currently allocated large capital sources in 2025 and have established a gantt line to disburse capital until the end of June 2025.

Director of the Provincial Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board Ngo The An said that in 2025, the capital plan assigned to the unit is more than 2.5 trillion VND, including 5 projects with a large capital allocation ratio. Among the projects with large capital allocation, currently Component Project 3, Ring Road 3 Project - Ho Chi Minh City is the project with the most favorable construction conditions. Therefore, the Provincial Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board sets a disbursement target higher than the registered level, which is 51% of the project's capital plan by the end of June 2025. For the remaining projects, the Provincial Traffic Construction Investment Project Management Board strives to disburse at a higher rate than the registered rate by the end of June 2025.

"The unit hopes that localities will support and speed up site clearance work to complete the set goals," said Mr. Ngo The An.

Meanwhile, the Provincial Construction Investment Project Management Board aims to disburse about 35% of the total capital of VND396 billion allocated in 2025 by the end of June.

According to the Provincial Construction Investment Project Management Board, the projects invested by the unit are mainly transitional projects, which have encountered difficulties in site clearance in the past. Therefore, the unit hopes that localities will speed up the site clearance progress to serve the construction work, increasing the rate of capital disbursement.
