Thai Nguyen: Agreement reached on solutions to remove obstacles in disbursing public investment funds.

On the afternoon of August 21, the People's Committee of Thai Nguyen province held a direct and online conference with 55 communes and wards in the Southern region to assess the situation and remove difficulties in the disbursement of public investment capital (previously, the Provincial People's Committee had worked with 37 communes and wards in the Northern region on this content). Comrade Pham Hoang Son, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, chaired the conference.

Comrade Pham Hoang Son, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, presided over the meeting.

In the first six months of 2025, the province made efforts to accelerate the disbursement of public investment capital, ranking among the top 10 localities nationwide with the best disbursement rates. However, after the administrative boundary merger and the operation of a two-tiered local government model, some shortcomings have arisen in the implementation of projects. This is especially true in the transition phase of projects from the district to the commune level, the identification of investors, management authority, and compensation for land clearance.

Reports presented at the conference indicated that the main difficulties focused on the selection and capacity of investors due to a shortage of specialized personnel; compensation for land clearance and resettlement still faced many obstacles related to resettlement limits, verification of land conditions, compensation rates, etc. Construction work also encountered obstacles due to fluctuating construction material prices and prolonged rainy weather directly affecting progress. These difficulties resulted in the disbursement rate in many communes and wards not meeting expectations.

Representatives from local authorities and investors presented reports and proposed solutions.

In light of this situation, the Conference agreed on several key solutions, such as: Departments and agencies strengthening coordination to promptly resolve obstacles for local authorities; People's Committees of communes and wards urgently completing the assignment of investors while ensuring proactiveness and flexibility, but still adhering to regulations; and localities carefully reviewing land records to avoid delays due to procedural obstacles.

Concluding the conference, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Pham Hoang Son emphasized that the results of the public investment plan implementation for the 2021-2025 period are an important basis for allocating the plan for the 2026-2030 period. Therefore, localities must uphold a high sense of responsibility, proactively coordinate with departments and agencies, and be determined to complete the public investment disbursement target for 2025, ensuring progress, quality, and efficiency.

Comrade Pham Hoang Son, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, delivered a speech at the conference.

The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested the Provincial Project Management Board for Investment and Construction of Transportation and Agricultural Projects to immediately establish working groups to provide direct support to localities in overcoming difficulties. The Provincial Land Fund Development Center was instructed to closely guide compensation and resettlement work, and to definitively resolve long-standing issues.

Regarding the proposals and recommendations from localities on personnel allocation, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee stated that the province will develop a plan to transfer and assign suitable professional staff to ensure they meet job requirements. This is considered a fundamental solution to enhance the capacity of investors, create a clear improvement in disbursement, and contribute to promoting the socio-economic development of the province.
