Currently, there are 4 ministries, branches and localities with disbursement rates reaching over 50%, including: Hanoi National University, Ho Chi Minh City National University, Dien Bien province and Ninh Binh province.

However, there is still 1 ministry and 4 localities that have not disbursed the foreign capital public investment plan in 2025, including: Ministry of Foreign Affairs , Tay Ninh, Dong Nai, Hung Yen, and Lai Chau provinces.

According to Deputy Minister of Finance Tran Quoc Phuong, the disbursement of public investment capital, especially from ODA capital, has received great attention from the Government and the Prime Minister. Many resolutions, telegrams and directives have been issued; the Ministry of Finance has also provided regular guidance, but the results achieved are still modest compared to the requirements.

At the conference, representatives of ministries, branches and localities discussed and pointed out a number of main reasons leading to slow disbursement, including: Difficulties in site clearance; delays in bidding and contract signing; having to carry out many procedures to adjust investment policies, projects, loan agreements and capital plans.

To overcome this situation, the conference agreed on a number of key solutions, emphasizing the need to closely monitor progress, focus on implementing completed investment preparation projects; promptly handle problems in site clearance, bidding and other procedures within their authority. For issues beyond their authority, ministries and branches need to quickly synthesize, report for consideration and timely resolution.

2025 is the last year to implement the 5-year Socio-Economic Development Plan 2021 - 2025. Accelerating the disbursement of public investment capital, especially foreign capital, plays a role in promoting domestic production, developing infrastructure, removing bottlenecks for development, contributing to fast and sustainable economic development.

The Ministry of Finance affirmed that it will closely monitor and resolutely implement solutions to accelerate disbursement of public investment capital, striving to achieve a disbursement rate of 100% of the capital plan.
