Analyzing the reasons for the achieved results, the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that it was due to proactive and active preparation of the project early; the drastic direction and management of ministries and agencies. The reasons for the shortcomings and limitations are: Difficulties related to institutions (layers of planning projects in some localities are not yet synchronized and unified); related to the arrangement of the apparatus, problems with site clearance, the mechanism for implementing 3 national target programs, compensation work; limited supply of some raw materials, etc.

To strive to achieve the target of disbursing 100% of the plan assigned by the Prime Minister in 2025, the Deputy Prime Minister requested ministries and central agencies that have not yet allocated in detail the 2025 capital plan assigned by the Prime Minister; have not yet disbursed or the disbursement rate is lower than the national average, must seriously learn from experience, clearly identify the causes; from there, have specific and drastic solutions to strive to achieve the set target (disbursement reaching 100%).

Regarding the recommendations at the meeting, the Deputy Prime Minister assigned ministries to study and promptly handle them according to their assigned functions and tasks; in cases beyond their authority, report to the Government and the Prime Minister for appropriate handling options.

Based on the opinions of ministries and agencies at the meeting, the Government Office submitted to the Deputy Prime Minister to assign the Ministry of Finance to synthesize and report to the Government at the next regular Government meeting.

Regarding the tasks in the coming time, the Deputy Prime Minister requested ministries and central agencies to continue to resolutely and seriously implement the directions of the Government and the Prime Minister on public investment disbursement.
