THE PRIME MINISTER | SOCIALIST REPUBLIC OF VIETNAM |
No. 1082/CD-TTg | Hanoi, August 16, 2021 |
OFFICIAL TELEGRAM
ACCELERATION OF IMPLEMENTATION AND DISBURSEMENT OF PUBLIC INVESTMENT PLAN 2021
From THE PRIME MINISTER to:
- Ministries, ministerial agencies, governmental agencies;
- The People’s Committees of provinces and central-affiliated cities.
Amid complicated developments of Covid-19 pandemic in Vietnam and in the world, the socio-economic situation of our country continues to face many difficulties and challenges, requiring the whole political system to join with greater determination and greater efforts to achieve the "dual goals": control the epidemic, recover and develop the economy. Accelerating the disbursement of public investment capital is an important and urgent task, which contributes to stimulation of total demand, promotes economic growth, and creates more jobs, income, and improves living standards of working people. Recently, the Government and the Prime Minister have taken many drastic and specific measures to speed up the disbursement of public investment capital in 2021.
However by July 31, 2021, the disbursement of public investment capital is only 36,71% according to the 2021’s plan established by the Prime Minister, lower than that of the same period in 2020 (40,67%). The disbursement of ODA and concessional loans of foreign sponsors is especially low (7,52%). Many Ministries, agencies and local governments have proactively implemented effective measures that help them achieve high ratios of disbursement (over 50%) such as: Thai Binh (71%), Hung Yen (65%), Ha Nam (64,36%), Thanh Hoa (61,59%), Nam Dinh (58,01%), Ha Tinh(55,49%), Thai Nguyen (51,33%), Vietnam Bank for Social Policies (67,27%), Office of the National Assembly (52,9%); Some provinces still achieve good results while practicing social distancing under Directive No. 16/CT-TTg such as Bac Ninh (55,37%), Binh (52,88%), Tien Giang (50,90%). Besides, many Ministries, agencies and local governments still have low disbursement ratios: the Ministry of Information and Communications (0,40%), Vietnam National University of Ho Chi Minh City (0,56%), Management Board of Vietnam Cultural Villages (0,95%), Vietnam Television (1,17%), Vietnam News Agency (1,19%), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (2,57%), Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (2,67%), Vietnam Farmer’s Union (2,7%), Bac Kan (8,37%), Quang Binh (15,46%), Cao Bang (15,84%), Dak Lak (15,86%), etc. Some agencies even have 0% disbursement ratio such as Committee for Ethnic Minority Affairs, Vietnam Cooperative Alliance, Vietnam Journalist Association, Vietnam Union of Literature and Arts Associations, Vietnam Union of Science and Technology Associations, Vietnam Development Bank.
The low disbursement ratio reduces the efficiency of public investment capital, wastes resources, affects economic growth, and the implementation of fiscal and monetary policies, especially while the economy is being affected by Covid-19 pandemic.
The disbursement was slow due to many reasons, including objective reasons caused by complicated developments of the Covid-19 epidemic, which required social distancing in some administrative divisions. However, subjective reasons are still the main causes, especially the shortcomings and limitations in management, administration and implementation. Some Ministries, agencies and administrative divisions, especially those that do not implement social distancing, lack political determination; their leaders have not fulfilled their roles; disbursement plan is not practical; construction design, bidding and selection of contractors are slow, site clearance is incomplete; procedures for payment and settlement of public investment capital are still difficult; cooperation between agencies is not tight; inspection and examination work has not been drastic; actions against delay and violation are not timely and serious enough, etc.
In order to accelerate disbursement of 2021’s public investment capital and achieve the disbursement ratio of over 95% in 2021 under the Government’s Resolution No. 63/NQ-CP dated June 29, 2021, thus contribute to economic recovery and development amid Covid-19 pandemic, the Prime Minister hereby demands that:
