In 2025, for the first time, the People's Committee of Hai Duong province will develop a detailed scenario for the implementation progress and disbursement of public investment capital to each project on a monthly and quarterly basis.
The People's Committee of Hai Duong province has just held a conference to announce the economic growth scenario and detailed public investment scenario for 2025. Comrade Le Anh Dung, Director of the Department of Planning and Investment, discussed solutions to remove bottlenecks in disbursement of public investment capital. Hai Duong Electronic Newspaper quotes Comrade Le Anh Dung's speech below:
Recently, the implementation of public investment plans has encountered a number of difficulties and problems regarding site clearance, planning, and shortage of supply of some types of construction materials...
But with the participation of the entire political system, especially the drastic direction of the leaders of the Provincial People's Committee, the determined efforts of the sectors, localities and investors, Hai Duong has achieved many positive results in disbursing public investment capital, completing and putting the project into use to promote investment efficiency.
In order to synchronously deploy tasks and solutions in managing and implementing projects and promoting the disbursement of public investment capital in 2025, right from the beginning of the year, avoiding the situation of a leisurely beginning of the year and a difficult end of the year, the Provincial People's Committee issued Plan No. 165/KH-UBND dated January 10, 2025. Accordingly, the total public investment capital in 2025 of the whole province is 10,452.6 billion VND, striving to disburse 10,421.7 billion VND for the whole year, reaching 99.7% of the assigned plan. This is the first time the Provincial People's Committee has developed a detailed scenario for the implementation progress and disbursement to each project by month and quarter. This demonstrates a breakthrough in directing project implementation and disbursement of public investment capital.
To effectively implement the Project Implementation Progress Scenario Plan and Public Investment Disbursement Progress in 2025, it is necessary to strengthen propaganda and thoroughly disseminate legal documents related to public investment and Plan No. 165/KH-UBND dated January 10, 2025 of the Provincial People's Committee to raise awareness, roles and responsibilities of all levels, sectors and project investors. Strictly manage public investment work, allocate capital to projects in accordance with legal provisions, ensure the correct order of priority; closely follow the expected implementation progress and the ability to disburse 100% of the capital plan assigned in the budget year. Closely follow and comply with legal provisions, raise awareness, role and significance of public investment for socio-economic development, promote economic growth; identify public investment disbursement as one of the top important political tasks of all levels, sectors in the province and project investors.
It is recommended that departments, branches, localities and investors be truly proactive, closely follow, and specifically identify the causes of slow disbursement, inspect, supervise, and immediately correct existing problems and shortcomings, and assign leaders in charge of each project to directly direct and promptly remove difficulties and obstacles. Remove bottlenecks and problems that affect the progress of disbursement of public investment capital; overcome the situation of pushing, avoiding, fear of mistakes, and fear of responsibility in the performance of public duties by cadres, civil servants, and public employees.
Focus on directing the settlement of compensation, site clearance, and resettlement support to ensure timely and proper implementation of the project, creating consensus to accelerate the progress of project implementation. Ensure sufficient materials, especially sand, gravel, stone, soil for embankment... to serve the construction of the projects. Ensure the number of human resources, select cadres with sufficient capacity, dedication, and capacity to assign tasks related to the disbursement of public investment capital.
Strengthen discipline and order in the disbursement of public investment capital, make advances, accept, pay, and recover advances according to regulations immediately after the volume is available. Proactively review and transfer capital according to authority between projects with slow disbursement to projects with better disbursement capacity and in need of additional capital according to regulations. Immediately after adjusting the capital plan, it is necessary to make a plan for implementation progress and disburse 100% of the adjusted and additional capital for the projects.
Manage public investment in accordance with regulations, do not prolong implementation time, which may increase the total investment of the project, cause capital loss, and reduce investment efficiency. Strengthen inspection and examination; strictly handle investors and organizations and individuals who intentionally cause difficulties, obstruct, and delay the progress of implementation and disbursement of public investment capital. Resolutely handle violations in public investment management.
