PM asks to accelerate public capital disbursement

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh requested relevant ministers, heads of ministerial-level agencies, and leaders of localities to accelerate disbursement of public investment capital to fulfill the annual target.

Chairing a national teleconference on May 20, PM Chinh put forward specific tasks, including speeding up site clearance, tackling difficulties and obstacles, ensuring enough supply of construction materials for projects, and improving investment preparation.

He stressed the need to achieve critical national infrastructure goals later this year, including completing 3,000km of expressways, 1,000km of coastal roads, putting into operation the first phase of the Long Thanh International Airport project, and starting construction of the Hanoi – Lao Cai – Hai Phong railway project.

As of April 30, nearly VND818 trillion ($32.72 billion) was allocated for 2025 public investment plans, or 99% of the target set by the PM. Nationwide disbursement totaled over VND128 trillion ($4.9 billion), or 15.56% of the yearly plan.
