Slow disbursement, drastic acceleration
According to recent data from the State Treasury of Region XII, as of September 19, 2025, the disbursement rate of public investment capital in Quang Tri province has only reached 35.2% of the plan assigned by the Prime Minister, significantly lower than the national average.
Many key projects are still sluggish, even almost "standing still". Of which, Quang Ninh District General Hospital has only reached 9.8%; Quang Binh Northern Regional General Hospital has reached 12.7%; the Me Cong sub-regional tourism infrastructure development project to expand phase 2 has reached 17.6%; the coastal road and Nhat Le 3 bridge have reached 20.9%; the coastal road connecting the East - West economic corridor has reached 30.4%; especially the Northern Urban Area of Hieu River phase 2 has not yet disbursed any money.
Faced with this situation, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Tran Phong has issued a document criticizing 12 communes and wards for being slow to open transaction accounts at the State Treasury, a reason for the "stuck" capital flow. Immediately after being reminded, localities urgently completed procedures within a few days, ensuring conditions for payment of investment expenses.
Director of the Department of Finance Nguyen Xuan Dat said that after receiving instructions from the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, all 12 communes and wards have opened their accounts and started disbursing according to the correct procedures.
At major projects such as coastal roads and Nhat Le 3 bridge, Chairman of the People's Committee of Quang Tri province Tran Phong requested the Director of the Department of Finance and the Director of the Department of Construction to take direct responsibility for the progress, not allowing public investment capital to be delayed in disbursement due to subjective factors. He emphasized that this is the top political task of departments, branches and localities.
Contractors are directed to mobilize maximum human resources and means, organize rolling construction, and be flexible according to the weather. The motto of action is: "Complete the volume, accept and pay", avoiding the situation of concentrating work and capital at the end of the year, contributing to accelerating the disbursement rate in the fourth quarter of 2025.
Tightening responsibility, not letting capital " sleep away"
The People's Committee of Quang Tri province has issued a document urging the comprehensive progress of public investment disbursement in 2025, requiring investors to develop a detailed disbursement plan by week, month, and quarter; at the same time, identifying the responsibility of the head.
If by October 31, any project has a disbursement rate below the provincial average, the Provincial People's Committee will publicly criticize it at the regular meeting in early November.
Along with that, the province requires accelerating progress to go hand in hand with ensuring quality, construction techniques, labor safety and preventing loss and waste. Localities need to proactively handle problems in site clearance, complete legal documents, promptly compensate and support people. In case necessary, the province will apply enforcement measures to protect construction in accordance with legal regulations.
To achieve the GRDP growth target of 8% in 2025, the Provincial People's Committee requires heads of investors to make a written commitment to disburse all capital plans, along with a schedule appendix for each project. The responsible staff must regularly monitor the scene, promptly remove obstacles, and ensure that capital is used effectively.
He affirmed that this is not only a slogan for action but a specific order for Quang Tri to accelerate in disbursing public investment capital, not letting the development capital flow " sleep" due to the stagnation of the management apparatus itself.
