MoT offers solution to problematic BOT projects

Through a review, the Ministry of Transport has reported that there are eight build-operate-transfer (BOT) projects that are inadequate and need to be reported to relevant authorities for consideration on their future. The ministry has therefore proposed that a solution to terminate contracts ahead of time and allocate State budget capital of about VND13.115 trillion ($552.527 million) to compensate investors and project developers be submitted to the National Assembly for consideration and approval. This would also remove obstacles for investors, thereby restoring their trust.
