22:55, 10/05/2025

(ĐN)- The Southeast region was allocated over VND 165 trillion of public capital disbursement in 2025, making up 20% of the national total. However, by the end of March, the region had only disbursed around 4.7%, below the national average of 9.5%. Among six provinces, Ba Ria - Vung Tau achieved a higher-than-average disbursement rate.

In Dong Nai, the allocated capital exceeded VND 15.7 trillion, but as of late April, only 8.6% had been disbursed. Key obstacles include delays in land clearance, project planning adjustments, and slow land auction procedures. The province has implemented aggressive measures, including accelerating compensation work, holding regular meetings with project investors, and intensifying inspections of key project progress.

Other provinces like Binh Phuoc reported similar issues, such as overlapping plans, delays in land auction documentation, and adjustments required for ODA projects due to cost overruns. Several projects with completed work volumes still await documentation for disbursement, while limited management capacity at the commune level further hampers implementation.

Deputy Prime Minister Le Thanh Long emphasized that public investment disbursement is a top political priority, critical to economic growth, macroeconomic stability, and job creation. He urged all localities and ministries to take decisive actions to resolve obstacles, accelerate project execution, and allocate funds effectively. The Ministry of Finance has proposed 10 key solutions to support provinces in meeting the goal of 100% disbursement by the end of 2025.
