According to the report of the Department of Planning and Investment, the accumulated disbursement of the state budget investment capital plan in 2023 up to August 31 was 1,729,503/4,624,531 billion VND, reaching 37.40% of the capital plan assigned by the Prime Minister. Specifically: Local budget capital disbursed 540,932/1,299,619 billion VND (reaching 41.62%); central budget capital was 735,393/2,148,294 billion VND (reaching 34.23%); capital to implement 3 National Target Programs was 453,178/1,176,618 billion VND (reaching 38.52%); The disbursement of planned capital from 2022 to 2023 (excluding the NSTW reserve) is 278,101/617,450 million VND (reaching 45.04%). The whole province strives to disburse the State budget investment capital plan from 2023 to January 31, 2024, which is 4,458,285 billion VND, reaching 96.4% of the capital plan assigned by the Prime Minister at the beginning of the year; of which 100% of local budget capital, 95% of the central budget capital plan and 95% of the National Target Program capital plan are disbursed.
The implementation and payment of public investment capital have not met expectations. By August 31, 2023, the disbursement rate was lower than the national average (39.60%). Implementing Directive No. 1375/CT-UBND dated April 19, 2023 of the Provincial People's Committee: 5/38 units had a disbursement rate of over 70%; 9/38 units had a disbursement rate of over 50% to under 70%. Compared to the average disbursement rate of the whole province: 21/38 units achieved above, 17/38 units were below the provincial average, of which 4 investor units have not yet disbursed. Some units were assigned large capital plans, but the amount of undisbursed capital is large, such as: Dien Bien Phu City People's Committee; Project Management Board of Agricultural and Rural Development Projects; Project Management Board of Traffic Projects and Department of Health. In addition, the quality of planning and investment preparation, investment procedures for projects in some units are not good, lacking initiative, leading to projects expected to start construction not meeting the conditions for capital allocation according to regulations before December 31, 2022 or having to adjust capital plans to other projects. The progress of implementing Programs and projects with large capital plans is still slow, the low disbursement rate affects the overall disbursement progress of the province. Compensation and site clearance work, especially in large-scale projects, still has many problems that have not been thoroughly resolved.
The reasons for the slow disbursement of capital are: The leadership and direction of some localities and units are not close and drastic. The capacity for planning, controlling project documents, and organizing implementation in some units still has many shortcomings, is not drastic, and is not effective, leading to slow completion of investment procedures, not ensuring the conditions for detailed allocation of the 2023 capital plan before December 31, 2022. The work of acceptance and payment of completed volume has not been prioritized by investors and construction units in terms of human resources. The coordination between units assigned to investors with state management agencies and localities with investment projects is not smooth and effective.
At the conference, leaders of districts, towns and cities all said that the main difficulty leading to slow disbursement of public investment capital is site clearance, of which the most difficult is verifying the origin of land. In addition, because the projects in 2023 are mainly new construction projects, it takes a long time to complete the paperwork, so some projects have not started construction and have not yet received disbursement volume.
Concluding the conference, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Thanh Do affirmed that the progress of public investment disbursement in the first 9 months of 2023 is still slow, not meeting the set requirements. To achieve the target of public investment disbursement of over 95%, of which over 90% will be achieved by the end of the fourth quarter, all levels, sectors and investment units must continue to thoroughly and effectively implement the instructions of the Central Government and the province on public investment disbursement in 2023. In which, focus on the following key tasks: It is necessary to identify capital disbursement as a key political task in 2023 to direct more closely and drastically for each project category. Focus on removing difficulties, speeding up the progress of site clearance, focusing on the work of measuring, assigning ownership, and mapping cadastral records of land; urgently counting, planning, appraising and approving site clearance plans. Doing a good job of ideological work for cadres performing site clearance tasks; During the implementation process, if any difficulties or problems arise, they need to be summarized and sent to the Department of Natural Resources and Environment for consultation with the Provincial People's Committee for handling. In particular, the People's Committees of Dien Bien Phu City and Dien Bien District will increase professional staff to carry out site clearance work. Continue to further strengthen coordination and professional and technical exchanges between the District People's Committees and sectors in handling investment procedures, minimizing the return of project documents. At the same time, urge the progress, construction and acceptance when there is completed volume for disbursement, payment and refund. If the contractor is not qualified, investors need to have solutions to ensure the progress of capital disbursement; pay attention to the investment preparation plan for projects according to the 2024 public investment plan. In addition, localities review all production support projects under the 3 National Target Programs to organize implementation in accordance with procedures and legal regulations, ensuring the effectiveness and feasibility of each project.
