On the afternoon of November 5, comrade Nguyen The Phuoc - Permanent Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee chaired a conference on removing obstacles and speeding up the disbursement of capital for national target programs in 2025.

According to the report of the Department of Finance, as of October 31, 2025, the disbursement rate of central budget capital to implement national target programs only reached 32.3% of the allocated plan (1,132.37/3,508.28 billion VND).

Specifically, the total disbursed development investment capital reached 45.4% of the plan, of which the National Target Program on New Rural Construction had the highest disbursement rate (63.8%); the Socio -Economic Development Program for Ethnic Minority and Mountainous Areas (42.8%); followed by the Sustainable Poverty Reduction Program (38.8%).

The leaders of the Department of Finance reported on the progress of disbursement of capital for national target programs.

Total disbursed public capital by the end of October only reached 21.3% of the plan, of which the Socio-Economic Development Program for Ethnic Minority and Mountainous Areas reached 20.4%; the Sustainable Poverty Reduction Program reached 22.9% and the New Rural Development Program reached 21.8%.

The main difficulties pointed out are the problems arising after the province merger and the implementation of the 2-level local government model; the management staff at the local level, especially at the grassroots level (commune and ward), are still confused in organizing and implementing; the lack of experience, frequent changes and rotation of new staff and the overloaded workload have greatly affected the progress; the delay in establishing the commune management board and the delay in issuing decentralization and specific regulations on investment decision-making authority for the commune level are also barriers...

Regarding career capital, many projects and contents are "stuck" because they are difficult to implement or there are no beneficiaries. As of October 31, there are still 497.89 billion VND of career capital that has not been allocated in detail.

The reason is that many contents and projects are difficult to implement, such as: duplicate policies; lack of targets; complex capital rotation mechanisms that are difficult to implement in particularly difficult areas...

At the conference, leaders of departments, branches and localities reported on progress, pointed out difficulties and obstacles in disbursing national target programs; proposed and recommended solutions to organize implementation, speed up disbursement progress to ensure the 2025 plan.

Concluding the conference, Mr. Nguyen The Phuoc, Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, emphasized that the slow disbursement mainly comes from subjective reasons, therefore, localities need to identify this as a key political task.

He requested 99 communes and wards to urgently complete the steering committee, in which the Party Secretary must be the head of the committee, and immediately establish a commune management board to organize implementation; strictly implement the monthly reporting regime (summarize to the Provincial People's Committee before the 6th of the following month).

Comrade Nguyen The Phuoc - Permanent Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee concluded the conference.

To remove the bottleneck in investment authority after the merger, the Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested the communes to review all public investment projects and report to the Department of Finance before November 8 for synthesis and submission to the Provincial People's Committee for consideration of delegating investment decision authority to the commune level before November 10.

For career capital, localities review all needs and report capital transfers (if necessary) before November 10, prioritizing resources for maintenance and repair of facilities (headquarters, schools, medical stations) and simple production development support projects with quick disbursement capabilities.

Comrade Nguyen The Phuoc also emphasized that 2025 is the final year of implementing national target programs, extending capital sources is extremely difficult, therefore, in the second half of November, the Provincial People's Committee will establish working groups to work directly with 99 communes and wards to promptly resolve the issues.
