Speaking at the workshop, Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment Tran Quoc Phuong informed about 5 main policy groups being amended in the draft Law on Public Investment, such as: institutionalizing pilot and specific mechanisms and policies that have been allowed by the National Assembly to be applied in a number of localities.
For example, the National Assembly allows Da Nang city to separate compensation, support, resettlement, and site clearance projects from public investment projects in group B; continue to promote decentralization and delegation of authority; improve the quality of investment preparation, resource exploitation, and capacity to implement public investment projects of localities and state-owned enterprises; promote the implementation and disbursement of ODA capital plans and preferential loans from foreign donors; simplify procedures; supplement and clarify concepts, terms, and regulations, ensuring consistency and uniformity of the legal system...
This amendment to the Law on Public Investment is very comprehensive, with urgent progress and high quality requirements to fundamentally overcome difficulties, limitations, obstacles, and bottlenecks, improve the efficiency of capital use, and unlock resources for development.

Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee Tran Chi Cuong also proposed to study and add more specialized agencies to prepare project investment policy reports depending on the specific characteristics of the project to be flexible and effective, instead of just assigning this task to the project management board; review current regulations and further study the regulations on decentralization of responsibilities between individuals (individual) and collectives (general) to avoid overlap and comply with the Law on Organization of Local Government...
