Thus, it can be seen that the allocation and disbursement of public investment capital this year has shown many positive signs. However, to be able to achieve the disbursement target of over 95% of the planned capital assigned by the Prime Minister, there is still a lot of work to be done to avoid the situation that has happened for many years, which is "the beginning of the year is too low". , the end of the year is in a hurry".
Because in 2023, the Ministry of Planning and Investment alone had to issue 7 telegrams and 13 documents urging ministries, central agencies and localities to complete project investment procedures and allocate expenditures. details of public investment plans. Regularly inspect, supervise, and strengthen discipline in capital disbursement, attaching the responsibilities of heads of agencies and units to disbursement results...
In particular, to speed up disbursement progress, the Government, the Prime Minister and relevant ministries and branches have closely identified obstacles and difficulties in each industry, each field, and each stage of the project. projects, establishing working groups to promptly find solutions.
Thanks to these drastic moves, the progress of disbursement of public investment capital in 2023 has improved significantly month by month. And for the whole year, the disbursement rate is estimated to reach about 95%, about 2022% higher than in 3,58.
According to forecasts, this year, public investment capital will continue to remain at 25 - 26% of total social investment capital, equivalent to 9 - 10% of GDP - continuing to be an important driving force to create acceleration. for socio-economic recovery and development, contributing to economic growth. Therefore, disbursement is determined to continue to be a key political task that requires focus on drastic and effective implementation of solutions.
That is to continue implementing the activities of the Prime Minister's 5 working groups to inspect, urge, remove difficulties and obstacles, and promote capital disbursement at ministries, central agencies and localities. Speed up preparation, investment decisions, and contractor selection to soon start new projects.
Resolutely do not spread investment, eliminate projects that are not really necessary, transfer capital from projects that cannot be disbursed to projects that can be disbursed, avoid waste and ineffectiveness. Proactively prepare necessary conditions for implementation immediately after being assigned a capital plan by competent authorities.
Public investment is the "bait capital" that stimulates many other capital sources. Therefore, promoting allocation and disbursement is both urgent and strategic and is a key task to contribute to promoting growth, stabilizing the macroeconomy, and ensuring major balances. of the economy.
Therefore, the problem is to identify and identify bottlenecks and bottlenecks to take measures to remove them for effective implementation, not to continue the situation of "slowly at the beginning of the year, hasty at the end of the year".
