Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on December 6 signed Official Dispatch No. 237/CĐ-TTg, directing ministries, sectors, and localities to accelerate the disbursement of public investment capital during the remaining time of the year.
The dispatch noted that public investment disbursement in 2025 has achieved positive results. The estimated disbursement rate for the first 11 months reached 60.6% of the plan assigned by the Prime Minister, representing an increase of 58.2% in the rate and VND155.7 trillion (over $5.9 billion) in absolute value, compared to the same period in 2024.
To accelerate progress and achieve the goal of disbursing 100% of the 2025 public investment plan, the Prime Minister requires ministers, heads of central agencies, and Chairpersons of provincial and city People's Committees to take comprehensive responsibility for implementation. Promoting public investment is to be considered a priority political task and a key criterion for evaluating the performance of officials.
Concurrently, the dispatch requires ministries, sectors, and localities to quickly allocate the remaining capital and speed up the progress of key projects. Simultaneously, they must proactively handle procedures, remove bottlenecks, and implement clear and specific mechanisms for assignment and coordination regarding authority and responsibility among agencies in finalizing project investment procedures.
Furthermore, units must establish monthly disbursement plans, assign leaders to monitor specific projects, and reallocate capital from slow-moving projects to those capable of rapid implementation. On-site inspections and supervision of contractors must be strengthened.
Regarding the Ministry of Finance, the Government requires the application of digital transformation to track and monitor progress. The ministry must publicly announce the disbursement rates of each agency and locality on mass media on a weekly basis to enhance transparency, tighten discipline, and boost disbursement in the final sprint of the year.
At the same time, the ministry must immediately report cases of delay and propose management measures suitable to the practical situation.
