On March 12, Mr. Tran Hong Thai, Chairman of Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee, had a working session with the Department of Finance on the implementation of tasks after the merger.
According to the Lam Dong Provincial Department of Finance, in the first 2 months of 2025, the total provincial budget revenue reached VND4,592 billion, equal to 24% of the central budget estimate, equal to 21% of the budget estimate assigned by the Provincial People's Council.
In the first 2 months of 2025, the province has 175 newly established enterprises, with a registered capital of VND 2,155 billion. Many potential investors have come to the province to explore opportunities to implement urban areas, residential areas, tourism services, etc.
Mr. Ton Thien San, Director of Lam Dong Provincial Department of Finance, said: "The province's economy has not developed commensurate with the potential and advantages of existing resources. Investment attraction, especially foreign-invested projects, has not had positive changes. The disbursement of public investment capital in the province has not met requirements".
According to Mr. San, the progress of key projects is still slow, many projects are facing difficulties and obstacles that have not been completely resolved. Including the expressway project, Ta Hoet lake, Dong Thanh lake, Kazam lake...
"Many projects in the area are complicated and have long-term problems but have not been completely handled. The Department has to consult with central ministries and branches, and needs a lot of research time due to changes in legal regulations. Therefore, the unit is slow to report to the Provincial People's Committee on the handling plan," Mr. San added.
Mr. Tran Hong Thai, Chairman of Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee, acknowledged the achievements of the Provincial Department of Finance in the first 2 months of the year. After the merger, the department needs to immediately implement the important tasks assigned by the Provincial People's Committee.
According to the Chairman of Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee, the Department of Finance needs to urgently work with relevant units to remove difficulties and obstacles currently encountered in key projects, ensuring timely disbursement of public investment capital. Departments and branches continue to create favorable conditions for investors to implement projects in the province.
"The Department of Finance must urgently review public headquarters and land after restructuring and streamlining the apparatus to find appropriate solutions to avoid waste and create additional budget revenue for the province," emphasized the Chairman of Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee.
In 2025, Lam Dong province strives to collect 15,000 billion VND from the local state budget. Departments, branches and localities in the province are closely following the growth scenario, determining monthly revenue to have appropriate budget collection solutions.
At the same time, Lam Dong province has identified the disbursement of public investment capital as a particularly important political task. Thereby, directly contributing to promoting GRDP growth of 9% or more.
