As the socio-economic center of the province, the demand for infrastructure investment resources is large, with many key projects and works being implemented. In recent times, the City Party Committee and People's Committee of Hoa Binh City have focused on directing solutions to speed up capital disbursement progress and promote socio-economic development.
The contractor organizes construction at project sites from Tran Hung Dao Street to Dan Chu Ward connecting with National Highway 6 (Hoa Binh City).
Hoa Binh City has directed agencies and units assigned to manage the project to implement solutions to promote disbursement such as: urging contractors to construct, accept completed volumes, and complete payment procedures with the State Treasury; at the same time, reviewing and grasping the difficulties and obstacles of each project, promptly proposing to the Provincial People's Committee to consider and adjust the capital plan for projects that are not capable of disbursement or have low disbursement to projects with better disbursement capacity. However, the city's disbursement rate has not met the requirements.
In 2023, the capital plan assigned to the city at the beginning of the year was 1,282 billion VND, adjusted down to 610 billion VND. By January 31, 2024, 462/610 billion VND had been disbursed, reaching 75% of the plan. For public investment capital balanced by the provincial budget, the plan was 363 billion VND, disbursed by January 31, 2024 reaching 60%, of which ODA capital disbursed was 35/94 billion VND, reaching 38.1%; Central budget capital implemented 32/45 billion VND, reaching 71.2%; additional capital with the target of implementation was 22 billion VND, reaching 100%... For the city budget capital, the plan assigned in 2023 was 911 billion VND, adjusted down to 246 billion VND, disbursed by January 31, 2024 reaching 100%.
In 2024, the capital plan assigned to the city is 878 billion VND, by March 31, 2024, 151 billion VND was disbursed, reaching 17% of the plan. Disbursed public investment capital reached 14% of the plan; disbursed city budget investment capital reached 18% of the plan. According to the leader of the People's Committee of Hoa Binh city, the reasons for the disbursement rate not meeting the requirements are due to difficulties in site clearance, including determining the origin of land use, ownership, and land plot boundaries. Some households do not agree with the compensation plan; the land fund for resettlement construction is limited. Some projects have completed volume but because the province's land use revenue is not guaranteed, by the end of the year, the province's land use revenue only reached 45%, and the city's reached 20/300 billion VND. Although the capital source for the three national target programs is small, the second phase of allocation will not be completed until December 2023, so it cannot be disbursed yet. Regarding ODA capital, the drainage and wastewater treatment project will receive and disburse funds according to a special mechanism. The implementation process will encounter difficulties in adjusting the project and waiting for feedback from the sponsor to take the next steps, while the large allocated capital will put pressure on disbursement.
Comrade Nguyen Van Thang, Secretary of the Hoa Binh City Party Committee, said: To speed up the disbursement progress, the city focuses on directing the completion of investment preparation procedures, and in April 2024, the report on the implementation of 3 national target programs will be approved. Grasping the difficulties and obstacles for each project, proposing competent authorities to handle and resolve them, especially the site clearance stage of key projects such as the Hoa Binh - Hanoi regional connecting road and Moc Chau - Son La expressway; Tran Hung Dao road to Dan Chu ward connecting with National Highway 6. Directing contractors, urging project management units to construct according to plan, and carrying out capital payment procedures immediately after the volume is accepted. Strengthening the collection of state budget, especially land use revenue to arrange capital payment for projects. In addition, strengthening inspection, supervision, and strict handling of investors, project management boards, and contractors that slow down the disbursement progress of investment capital.
