Dong Nai disburses over VND11 tril in public investment capital

(ĐN)- As of December 9, Dong Nai province has disbursed over VND 11 trillion in public investment, equivalent to more than 54% of the 2024 plan, and over 67% of the target assigned by the Prime Minister, surpassing the national average, according to the provincial Department of Planning and Investment.

The province’s total public investment budget for 2024 exceeds VND 20 trillion, including carry-over capital. From the beginning of the year, Dong Nai has issued directives and signed performance agreements with project owners to accelerate disbursement progress.

In October, the province also established three task forces led by Vice Chairmen of the People’s Committee to oversee and push forward disbursement efforts. However, despite these measures, disbursement progress remains uneven. By the end of November, approximately VND 6 trillion had yet to be allocated, and seven project owners had not disbursed any capital.

At a meeting on December 12, Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Vo Tan Duc emphasized that public investment disbursement is a top priority for driving economic growth. He called on departments and localities to urgently review project bottlenecks and work toward disbursing at least 95% of capital by year-end.

He also directed the Department of Home Affairs to coordinate with relevant agencies to assess the disbursement performance of departments and agencies, tying it to year-end evaluations of leadership and institutional accountability.
