PM asks to remove obstacles for delayed investment projects

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has required relevant ministries, agencies and localities to urgently review and report on delayed investment projects in order to take measures to remove obstacles and difficulties to accelerate their implementation.

In a dispatch singed by the PM on February 8, he highlighted the lackluster response to earlier reporting mandates, noting that only 33 localities and nine ministries and central agencies submitted their reports to the Ministry of Planning and Investment as of February 7, well past the January 20 deadline.

While commending the agencies that met the initial deadline, PM Chinh ordered the remaining 30 localities and ministries to submit detailed accountability reports by February 17, along with those reviewing the performances of state-owned corporations and groups by February 15.

Earlier, the PM set up a steering committee on reviewing and removing roadblocks for investment projects on December 12, 2024.
