Resolutely carry out tasks to promote disbursement of public investment capital

To disburse public investment capital in 2025 to achieve the target of over 95% of the plan assigned by the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Finance proposes/recommends the following key solutions:

For the allocated capital, continue to resolutely implement tasks and solutions to promote the disbursement of public investment capital according to the direction and administration of the Prime Minister as prescribed in Official Dispatch No. 16/CD-TTg dated February 18, 2025 on urging the acceleration of allocation and disbursement of public investment capital in 2025, Decision No. 523/QD-TTg dated March 6, 2025 on establishing working groups to inspect, urge, remove difficulties and obstacles, and promote the annual disbursement of public investment capital at ministries, central agencies and localities.

For the central budget capital that has not been allocated in detail after March 15, 2025, it will be recovered to allocate to projects that need capital to accelerate completion progress in accordance with the direction in Resolution No. 46/NQ-CP dated March 8, 2025 of the Government.

Drawing on experience in the organization and implementation of projects, especially for large-scale projects with complex technical requirements, spanning many localities, urgent construction time, difficult terrain and weather conditions, and shortage of raw materials, etc., it is necessary to strengthen inspection and supervision, clearly assign responsibilities, and closely coordinate among all levels and sectors to ensure scientific and effective work... according to the direction of the Prime Minister in Official Dispatch No. 673/TTg-CN dated September 5, 2024 on implementing key tasks to strive to complete 3,000km of expressways by the end of 2025.

At the same time, direct the investor, immediately after signing the contract, to coordinate with the contractor to implement the advance payment procedures according to regulations so that contractors with capital can immediately prepare the necessary conditions, supplies, and materials for the construction work of the project; speed up the acceptance process and complete the payment documents immediately after the volume is available to speed up the disbursement progress, ensuring that by the end of the payment deadline according to regulations (January 31, 2026), the projects will disburse all the assigned capital plan for 2025.
