The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that the disbursement of public investment capital is one of the very important political tasks each year for socio-economic development, job creation, and contributing to achieving double-digit growth targets. "Issuing regulations on the scoring method for public investment capital disbursement is very necessary , " the Deputy Prime Minister said.

In addition to the area of ​​public investment disbursement, the Deputy Prime Minister stated that the Government will also soon study the application of KPI calculation methods to a number of tasks of ministries, sectors, and localities. This aims to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of leadership, direction, and organization of the Government's tasks.

According to the Deputy Prime Minister, scoring KPIs in public investment disbursement helps improve the efficiency of investment capital utilization, enhance a sense of responsibility in adhering to administrative discipline and public service regulations, and promote the proactive spirit of each organization and individual in carrying out the task of disbursing public investment capital.

Based on the report from the Ministry of Finance and the opinions expressed by ministries, sectors, and localities, the Deputy Prime Minister agreed to issue a Prime Minister's decision stipulating the scoring method for disbursing public investment capital plans.

The Ministry of Finance is responsible for guiding localities in the calculation process; reviewing it to ensure that the calculation for KPI scoring is as simple as possible. The calculation, evaluation, and scoring are carried out monthly, with in-depth evaluations conducted quarterly.

The Ministry of Finance will study and fully incorporate the opinions of the delegates attending the meeting to finalize the draft Decision of the Prime Minister, ensuring it is within the proper authority and in the correct form as prescribed by law. Based on that, the Ministry of Finance will compile and submit it to the Prime Minister before June 6th.

The Deputy Prime Minister instructed the Ministry of Finance to carefully review the items excluded when calculating disbursement scores, ensuring they are consistent with reality and are fair, open, and transparent.

The Deputy Prime Minister clarified that a pilot program for scoring will be implemented from July to September, followed by official rollout.

Expected scoring options

Reporting at the meeting on the draft scoring plan, Deputy Minister of Finance Nguyen Duc Tam said that the scoring is expected to be based on two timeframes: monthly and annual scoring.

In this system, the annual score serves as the primary evaluation tool for assessing the completion of disbursement tasks assigned by the Prime Minister. Monthly scores are used to commend ministries, agencies, and localities with good disbursement performance, and to encourage and remind those with poor performance.

For both monthly and annual scoring methods, the focus will be on two sources of public investment capital: planned capital allocated for the year and planned capital that has been extended for implementation and disbursement from years prior to the planning year.

Regarding the scoring criteria, for the monthly periodic assessment, the maximum total score is 100 points, comprising 3 component indicators: the disbursement rate of the capital plan compared to the national average disbursement rate up to the end of the month (45 points); the number of capital plans disbursed in the month compared to the registered capital plan for disbursement in the month (45 points); and compliance with the reporting regime on the disbursement of capital plans on the integrated financial database system (10 points).

For the annual evaluation, the maximum total score is 100 points, comprising two component indicators: the disbursement rate of the state budget compared to the national disbursement rate according to the target set by the Prime Minister (90 points); and compliance with reporting requirements (10 points).

The opinions expressed at the meeting were in strong agreement on the need to develop and promptly issue a set of KPI evaluation criteria for public investment disbursement in order to strengthen discipline, improve implementation efficiency, and create incentives to accelerate disbursement.

KPI scoring results should also become one of the important bases for evaluating the performance of teams and individuals, as well as for emulation and reward programs.

In addition, some opinions suggest establishing specific evaluation thresholds to classify disbursement results, thereby creating an objective basis for scoring, ranking, and comparing between agencies and units.

The ultimate goal of applying KPIs is not only to evaluate performance but also to create positive pressure, encouraging investors, project management boards, and relevant agencies to accelerate the disbursement of public investment capital, contributing to the achievement of socio-economic development goals.
