Q1/2025, disbursement at least 7.5%

In 2025, the total public investment capital of Ho Chi Minh City will be allocated more than 84,000 billion VND, 6.2% higher than in 2024 (public investment capital is more than 79,000 billion VND). The City Chairman requested units to improve their responsibilities, ensuring the disbursement rate reaches at least 95%.

In particular, the city sets a disbursement target for each quarter, with the first quarter having to reach at least 7.5%, striving for 10% or more; the second quarter at least 25%, aiming for 30% or more; the third quarter at least 50%, aiming for 70% or more; and the fourth quarter must complete at least 95%, striving for 100%.

The Department of Home Affairs is assigned to coordinate with the Department of Finance, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment and the State Treasury of Region II to advise and propose to the City People's Committee on criticism, reprimand and discipline for collectives and individuals who are heads of agencies, units and localities with low disbursement rates.

If the disbursement rate of a unit is lower than the general target of HCMC in each quarter, that unit will be criticized. If the general disbursement rate is not achieved for the whole year or the target is not achieved for two or more quarters, the unit will be reviewed and reprimanded.

For projects that are behind schedule and have not completed procedures, the competent authorities must promptly complete the documents to send to the appraisal agency before March 20, 2025.

At the same time, districts need to closely coordinate with investors to shorten appraisal time, ensuring investment decisions are issued before March 30, 2025.

Notably, relevant agencies and units need to clearly report the responsibilities of organizations and individuals when there are delays, and consider handling them according to Party regulations on waste.
