Ha Tinh "urges" disbursement of public investment capital

After 2 months of operating under the 2-level local government model, Ha Tinh province has only disbursed an additional 22 billion VND in public investment capital compared to the first 6 months of the year. Faced with this situation, Ha Tinh has urged to accelerate public investment capital in the last months of the year.

According to the report of the Ha Tinh Department of Finance, the total disbursement of public investment capital from the state budget up to August 21, 2025 in the province reached 5,329 billion VND, equal to 117% of the plan assigned by the Prime Minister, equal to 53.7% of the local capital plan, higher than the general disbursement rate of the whole country.

Ha Tinh is focusing on accelerating disbursement of public investment capital.

However, the disbursed capital in the first 8 months of the year only increased by more than 22 billion VND in the first 6 months of the year before the organization of the 2-level local government. The main reason is that the provincial Project Management Boards, localities, and units during the time of handing over and receiving documents and project investors have not yet ensured the conditions according to regulations to carry out bidding, disbursement, acceptance, payment and settlement procedures.

Along with that, the localities after the merger were confused in organizing management and implementing the project, not perfecting the stages of receiving, organizing the management apparatus, choosing the management form, arranging accounting, registering the use of accounts, so the disbursement was not timely according to the plan. The organization of compensation activities for land acquisition and clearance to implement the project was not unified and stable from the stage of transferring the task of relocating technical infrastructure works, building resettlement areas in inter-commune areas to organizing the apparatus and personnel of the Compensation, Support and Resettlement Council of the project, arranging accounting, registering the use of accounts... which caused the disbursement of public investment capital to stagnate.

In 2025, the public investment capital plan of Ha Tinh province assigned by the Prime Minister is 4,556,534 million VND; the local implementation plan in 2025 is 9,916,151 million VND. The accumulated capital payment from the beginning of the year to the end of August 2025 is 5,361,816 million VND, reaching 117.7% compared to the plan assigned by the Prime Minister, reaching 54.1% of the local implementation plan.

The estimated cumulative capital payment from the beginning of the year to the end of September 2025 is 6,261,115 million VND, reaching 137.4% of the plan assigned by the Prime Minister, reaching 63.1% of the plan implemented by localities. Implementing the Prime Minister's Official Dispatch No. 162/CD-TTg dated September 11, 2025 on focusing on promoting disbursement of public investment capital in 2025, Document No. 14251/BTC-NSNN dated September 12, 2025 of the Ministry of Finance requesting additional assessment of the implementation of the public investment plan in 2025 and proposing adjustments to the central budget public investment plan in 2025; To promote the disbursement of public investment capital in the last months of 2025, contributing to the realization of the economic growth target, macroeconomic stability, and ensuring major balances of the economy, Chairman of the People's Committee of Ha Tinh province Vo Trong Hai requested to continue promoting the disbursement of public investment capital with the highest political determination.

Chairman Vo Trong Hai said that this is a top priority political task, promoting responsibility, focusing on leadership, direction, and implementation of tasks, drastic, timely, synchronous, and effective solutions; as a basis for evaluating and classifying cadres, civil servants, and public employees at the end of the year. Ha Tinh province requires accelerating the disbursement of public investment capital to go hand in hand with ensuring quality, technique, aesthetics, labor safety and hygiene, not exceeding capital, not allowing corruption, negativity, loss, and waste to occur.

Directors of departments, heads of provincial-level sectors and branches, and chairmen of commune and ward People's Committees shall promote their leadership roles and take full responsibility for the allocation and disbursement of public investment capital in 2025 of their units and localities. Assign specific leaders responsible for monitoring the implementation progress; closely follow and promptly resolve difficulties in a substantive and effective manner within their authority and take responsibility for the disbursement results of each project.

From now until the end of the year, Ha Tinh province will strengthen discipline and order, strictly handle organizations and individuals who deliberately slow down the progress of allocating and disbursing public investment capital. Implement authority or propose to competent authorities to promptly replace cadres, civil servants and public employees who are incompetent, slow, causing harassment and trouble, resolutely handle negative and corrupt behaviors in public investment management.

Difficulties and problems may arise during the operation of the two-level local government, so Ha Tinh province requires units and localities to be proactive, closely coordinate, and thoroughly overcome them, so as not to affect the results of the implementation of the task of disbursing public investment capital. Communes and wards must be more determined in carrying out the work of site clearance for projects, determined not to let the implementation of the two-level local government affect the progress of site clearance and disbursement of public investment capital in the area.

Provincial Project Management Boards, localities, units, and investors focus on implementing timely, appropriate, and effective solutions to transfer investors, hand over, receive documents, and finances of projects to select contractors, accept, pay, settle, and disburse public investment capital. Urgently complete investment procedures, focus on site clearance and resettlement.

Timely resolve difficulties and problems, propose solutions or propose competent authorities to guide, direct and handle matters beyond their authority, to speed up project implementation progress, overcome slow disbursement, and strive to complete the disbursement of 100% of the allocated capital in the remaining months of 2025.

For the workload of completed projects, focus on completing documents and papers to complete the advance payment and payment. Develop a detailed disbursement plan for each project and control the progress on a weekly and monthly basis. At the same time, review, transfer capital or propose to transfer capital according to authority between slow-disbursement projects to projects with better disbursement capacity and lacking capital according to regulations.
