Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has just signed Official Dispatch No. 237 on accelerating the disbursement of public investment capital in the last months of 2025. Accordingly, from now until the end of the year, there is about 360,000 billion VND waiting to be disbursed. The Prime Minister directed to complete the target of disbursing 100% of the public investment capital plan in 2025. The Official Dispatch is sent to Ministers, Heads of ministerial-level agencies, Government agencies; Heads of other central agencies and Secretaries of Provincial and Municipal Party Committees; Chairmen of People's Committees of provinces and centrally run cities.

The dispatch stated that, in the past time, under the leadership of the Party, the accompaniment of the National Assembly, the Government, and the Prime Minister, the disbursement of public investment capital in 2025 has achieved positive results, the disbursement rate of the public investment capital plan for 11 months is estimated at 60.6% of the plan assigned by the Prime Minister, higher than the same period in 2024 (58.2%), in absolute terms, about 155.7 trillion VND higher. A number of ministries, branches, and localities - including those heavily affected by weather and natural disasters - have maintained the disbursement progress and have been commended by the Prime Minister. On the contrary, 22 ministries, branches, and 12 localities with disbursement below the average level continue to be strictly reminded.

Despite the improvement in results, the disbursement speed has not yet met the target for 2025. In the context that there are only about 55 days left but nearly 360,000 billion VND need to be completed, the requirement to accelerate disbursement has become a key factor to support GDP growth, stabilize the macro economy, balance the budget and ensure jobs for workers.

Focus on freeing up resources and removing economic bottlenecks

The Prime Minister requested that heads of ministries, branches and localities consider public investment disbursement as a top political task, directly linked to the assessment of task completion results. In directing, responsibilities must be clearly demonstrated, specific assignments must be made and "6 clear" must be ensured: clear people, clear work, clear responsibilities, clear authority, clear time and clear results.

Ministries, branches and localities must: Urgently allocate the remaining 2025 capital and speed up the progress of key infrastructure projects, especially highways, inter-regional works and large spillover projects. Proactively handle obstacles in investment procedures, land, resources and site clearance; improve the effectiveness of special working groups. Increase financial and budgetary discipline; strictly handle investors, management boards and individuals who hinder progress or create procedural bottlenecks; replace stagnant and incompetent officials. Review the progress of each project to transfer capital from slow projects to projects with better disbursement capacity, optimizing capital flow efficiency. Control construction material prices, promptly announce prices and prevent price manipulation, buying and reselling material mines causing cost increases.

Strengthening the executive role of key economic ministries

The Prime Minister assigned the Ministry of Finance to apply digital technology to monitor disbursement progress in real time, promptly report to units that are behind schedule, and publicly announce the disbursement status of each ministry, branch, and locality weekly. The Ministry of Construction monitors material market developments and proposes measures to ensure supply and reduce the risk of price increases. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment removes procedures for granting mines, exploiting materials, and handling legal issues related to land to shorten project preparation time.

Preparing public investment capital in 2026

The dispatch also requires ministries, branches and localities to prepare capital plans for 2026 early, prioritizing projects that have completed procedures and can be disbursed immediately upon capital allocation. Capital allocation must comply with the Law on Public Investment, the National Assembly Resolution and the Prime Minister's direction, to ensure that public investment capital flows are not interrupted and continue to play the role of "locomotive" of the economy.

Strengthen supervision, communication and responsibility of leaders

The Government Office is responsible for monitoring and urging the implementation of the Official Dispatch. The media and press are requested to increase the coverage of good examples and effective models, and at the same time detect and criticize places that are slow and cause waste of public resources. Ministers, heads of central agencies and chairmen of People's Committees of provinces and cities must be directly responsible for the implementation results.
