THANH TUẤN |

Gia Lai Due to changes in the organizational apparatus, authority... the disbursement of public investment capital still faces difficulties and interruptions.

On August 23, the People's Committee of Gia Lai province said that it had directed departments, branches and 135 communes and wards to overcome difficulties and obstacles to increase disbursement of public investment capital, completing the targets and tasks of socio-economic development.

As of August 15, 2025, Gia Lai province has disbursed VND 8,017.5 billion/VND 13,983.7 billion, reaching more than 57%.

Of which, the provincial budget capital has been disbursed VND 6,440.2 billion/10,715.8 billion VND, reaching more than 60%; the central budget capital has been disbursed VND 1,577.3 billion/VND 3,267.8 billion, reaching more than 48%.

The People's Committee of Gia Lai province assessed that the time to reorganize administrative units of the two provinces (Gia Lai and Binh Dinh) and deploy activities according to the 2-level local government model has caused some problems in the disbursement of public investment capital.

The main reason is due to changes in authority, organization, project management process... leading to disruptions in the entire process, from the stage of integrating the Tabmis system, approving, adjusting, and implementing the project to disbursing the capital plan. Especially for projects previously invested by the district level.

To combat waste of public investment capital and promote disbursement to promote local economic development, the Provincial People's Committee requested 135 communes, wards and departments and branches to speed up the progress of handling procedures such as appraisal, approval and project adjustment.

At the same time, promptly organize auctions of land use rights for unfinished land plots (transfer from district level to commune level) to ensure revenue for payment for development investment expenditure.

In August 2025, Gia Lai province simultaneously started a series of key projects such as: Phu My Industrial Park, the No. 2 runway construction investment project and synchronous works at Phu Cat Airport area.

The groundbreaking ceremony of the Concentrated Agricultural and Forestry Products Production and Processing Area project was held in village 2, Tay Son commune. The project is invested by Vinanutrifood Binh Dinh Joint Stock Company, phase 1 has a total capital of nearly 500 billion VND.
