Dong Nai races to meet public investment disbursement targets

(ĐN)- With just days left in 2024, Dong Nai authorities are accelerating efforts to meet public investment disbursement goals, focusing on over VND 6.5 trillion in remaining funds. As of December 9, more than VND 11 trillion had been disbursed—about 54% of the year’s plan and 67% of the Prime Minister’s target.

The province’s total public investment capital—including carried-over funds—exceeds VND 20.4 trillion. The biggest backlog lies in 16 key investors, each with over VND 50 billion yet to be disbursed. Meanwhile, certain projects such as the Long Thanh Airport resettlement and Ring Road 3 have unused funds totaling over VND 1.1 trillion, which are now excluded from further disbursement plans.

To ensure efficient execution, Dong Nai established three working groups led by provincial vice chairpersons to resolve bottlenecks. Most investors have pledged to disburse over 95% of their allocated capital by year-end. However, three units—including Dong Nai Children’s Hospital and the Provincial People’s Court—reported low or zero disbursement.

Dong Nai targets a 95% disbursement rate, with projected outcomes of 90% for central funding and up to 95% for district-level budgets. At a recent provincial planning meeting, Chairman Vo Tan Duc emphasized that underperforming investors would be held accountable before the Provincial Party Standing Committee.

The province has also tasked the Department of Home Affairs to coordinate performance evaluations tied to disbursement outcomes, reinforcing that timely public investment remains a top administrative priority as 2024 closes.
