18 projects disbursed 0%
On September 14, the People's Committee of Quang Binh province announced that by the end of August 2024, the province's public investment disbursement progress had reached nearly VND 2,431 billion, reaching 38.3% of the plan, higher than the disbursement rate of the same period and higher than the national average. However, the public investment disbursement rate has not yet reached the set target.
The total public investment plan allocated from the provincial state budget is 6,345 billion VND, of which the central budget is 1,994 billion VND and the local budget is 4,351 billion VND.
In Quang Binh province, there are currently 53 projects with disbursement under 30% with allocated capital of 978 billion VND. There are 18 projects with disbursement 0% with allocated capital of 60 billion VND.
The reason for the current slow disbursement is the low responsibility of investors in the process of directing, urging, implementing, accepting, and paying for projects. In addition, there are a number of other reasons, such as problems with site clearance; some new projects starting in 2023 have not yet started construction; new projects starting in 2024 are completing related investment and legal procedures, so they have not yet disbursed or have low disbursement...
Since the beginning of the year, the Provincial People's Committee has issued many documents urging the disbursement progress of public investment capital plans and organized conferences to discuss solutions to speed up the disbursement progress of public investment capital.
At the same time, 3 working groups were established to remove difficulties and obstacles, and urge the disbursement of public investment, headed by 3 Vice Chairmen of the Provincial People's Committee. These working groups meet weekly to promptly remove obstacles, in order to speed up the overall disbursement progress of the whole province.
Transfer capital to other projects
Chairman of Quang Binh Provincial People's Committee Tran Thang requested units and investors who have not done well and failed to achieve the set plan to seriously learn from their experiences in order to receive attention and direction in implementation.
At the same time, the Chairman of the People's Committee of Quang Binh province requested provincial departments, branches, sectors, People's Committees of districts, towns, cities, and investors to continue to thoroughly grasp the work of disbursing public investment capital as a key task of the entire political system.
“Make a detailed plan for each work item, completion time and implement according to the assigned plan, in which, investors with a disbursement rate of less than 30% urgently send the disbursement progress plan to the Department of Planning and Investment before September 20 for monitoring and reporting to the working groups of the Provincial People's Committee. If there are any problems at any step, urgently coordinate with relevant agencies to resolve them to ensure progress according to plan” - Mr. Thang emphasized.
The Chairman of the People's Committee of Quang Binh province informed that as of September 30, projects with a disbursement rate of 0% (except for projects starting new construction in 2024) were assigned to the Department of Planning and Investment to urgently advise the Provincial People's Committee to transfer to other projects, and the investor is responsible for balancing capital sources to complete the construction.
