Speaking at the High-Level Dialogue on Public-Private Partnership (PPP) organized by the Ministry of Finance on November 25, Mr. Phung Duc Dung, Head of the Public-Private Investment Management Department, Vietnam Road Administration, Ministry of Construction, said that in order to create momentum to promote socio-economic development, ensure national defense and security, the demand for investment capital for transport infrastructure in the period of 2026 - 2030 is very large, estimated at nearly 3 million billion VND, while budget resources are still limited and must be balanced for other important areas. Therefore, the solution to mobilize investment capital for infrastructure under the PPP method is appropriate.
Up to 2020, when the PPP Law had not yet been issued, the whole country had mobilized about 318,857 billion VND to invest in 140 BOT traffic projects. After the PPP Law was issued, the Ministry of Construction and localities have been implementing about 16 projects in the form of BOT, with a preliminary total investment of about 440,000 billion VND, of which: Investor capital mobilized about 230,000 billion VND, state capital participating about 210,000 billion VND.
"In the context of limited state capital, mobilizing private resources in investment, development, management, operation and maintenance of transport infrastructure has contributed to socio -economic development, promptly addressed people's needs, created a driving force for development, and increased the competitiveness of the economy," Mr. Phung Duc Dung emphasized.
According to the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress, the country strives to have about 5,000 km of expressways by 2030. To complete the above target, the Government directs that by the end of 2025, the country must put into operation about 3,000 km of expressways (the total figure is 3,081 km). At the same time, the Ministry of Construction and localities are currently building about 1,168 km (completed in 2027 - 2028) and preparing to invest 915 km (completed before 2030). With the above progress, by 2030, the country will have about 5,164 km of expressways, completing the target set by the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress.
In the previous period, in the context of limited state capital, a number of expressways were invested in a phased scale. To meet the increasing transportation demand, implementing the direction of the National Assembly and the Government, the Ministry of Construction and localities are currently completing procedures to upgrade and expand a number of expressway projects to full scale under the PPP method. These include 18 sections on the North-South expressway in the East, approximately 1,144 km long, and a number of gateway routes to major cities such as Ho Chi Minh - Long Thanh - Dau Giay, Ho Chi Minh - Trung Luong - My Thuan, Hanoi - Phap Van, Hanoi - Bac Giang, Hanoi - Thai Nguyen...
The representative of the Vietnam Road Administration also said that out of the total 3,081 km to be completed in 2025 and about 2,083 km being implemented, there are quite a few projects invested by the state budget (public investment). The Road Law has provisions on the collection of highway usage fees for vehicles traveling on highways invested, owned, managed and exploited by the state. Therefore, the potential for exploiting highways invested by the state (such as the form of toll collection, management, operation and maintenance exploitation in the form of O&M) is very large.
