Addressing 1,533 stalled projects using a "kill the mouse without breaking the vase" approach.

The handling of problematic projects must be thorough, without concealment, omission, or oversight of violations, preventing the loss of state assets, while ensuring the legitimate rights and interests of citizens and businesses.

On March 30, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh chaired a meeting with the Steering Committee on reviewing and resolving difficulties and obstacles related to projects to hear reports on the situation of reviewing, evaluating, and finding solutions to continue resolving difficulties and obstacles for outstanding projects.

Many policies have been issued to remove obstacles to projects.

According to a report by the Ministry of Finance , the standing agency of the Steering Committee, a total of 1,533 projects reported by agencies and localities are facing difficulties and obstacles, including 338 public investment projects, 1,126 non-budgetary investment projects, and 69 PPP projects.

In addition, the Ministry of Finance received documents from businesses reflecting on 12 projects facing difficulties and obstacles.

The Ministry of Finance has preliminarily categorized the difficulties and obstacles into 17 related groups, including: handling public assets; managing, using, and allocating public investment capital; changing land use purposes; stopping, revoking, and terminating project activities, etc.

The government has submitted to the National Assembly Resolution No. 170/2024 on specific mechanisms and policies to address difficulties and obstacles related to projects and land in inspection, audit, and court rulings in Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, and Khanh Hoa;

Resolution No. 171/2024 on piloting the implementation of commercial housing projects through agreements on acquiring land use rights or existing land use rights.

The government has issued Resolution 233 on the policy and direction for resolving difficulties and obstacles for renewable energy projects.

The relevant agencies are expected to submit a resolution to the Government to resolve the issues surrounding five projects in Ho Chi Minh City at the beginning of April.

Regarding the two projects, Bach Mai Hospital and Viet Duc Hospital's second facility, the Government has issued Resolution No. 34, and the Government leaders have agreed in principle to allocate additional budget from the increased revenue in 2024 to complete the two projects in 2025, so that they can be put into service for the people as soon as possible.

Don't let mistakes pile up.

In his concluding remarks, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized that removing obstacles to these projects is of great significance in freeing up, mobilizing, and exploiting vast resources, contributing to economic growth.

Therefore, it is necessary to address the issue in a way that ensures openness and transparency, clarifies collective and individual responsibilities, and takes appropriate action, "catching the mouse without breaking the vase," preventing mistakes from piling up.

Regarding land-related issues, local authorities need to resolve them definitively, providing appropriate support based on regulations. They must ensure the legitimate rights and interests of the people, consider policies that are fair and reasonable for special groups, those facing difficulties and vulnerabilities, and strictly handle cases of deliberate violations, procrastination, and resistance…

It is necessary to review planning documents, especially specialized plans, to ensure their suitability and consistency. For projects facing obstacles due to inspection conclusions or court rulings, it is proposed that the National Assembly allow the application of specific policies already approved by the National Assembly.

For projects with irregularities and those that are difficult to recover, solutions are needed, along with a deadline for rectification. The guiding principle should be effectiveness, humanity, and appropriateness, prioritizing economic, civil, and administrative measures first, before applying other measures.

No concealment, no omission, no oversight of wrongdoing, no loss of state assets, while ensuring the legitimate rights and interests of citizens and businesses.

For projects facing difficulties and obstacles that lack legal regulations and cannot be governed by specific policies enacted by the National Assembly, further research and proposals must be submitted to the National Assembly at the upcoming session.

The Prime Minister instructed the Ministry of Finance to develop and submit to the Government a resolution addressing issues within its jurisdiction; and to build a database system on projects facing difficulties, obstacles, backlogs, and delays. This database will be used to analyze the causes and propose appropriate, feasible, and effective solutions. General guidelines, including forms and outlines, will be provided for ministries, sectors, and localities to submit reports.

In addition, the Ministry of Finance and the Government Office are urgently submitting to the Prime Minister a third directive instructing, guiding, and urging agencies and localities to continue reviewing, evaluating, and classifying outstanding and problematic projects in order to report and propose tasks, solutions, plans, mechanisms, and policies for handling them. Failure to report on time will result in accountability when relevant agencies intervene.
