Low public investment disbursement rate
On August 7, the State Treasury of Region XII said that by the end of August 1, 2025, the disbursement of the 2025 public investment capital plan of Quang Tri province had only reached 31.54%, equivalent to nearly VND 3,774 billion out of a total of more than VND 9,300 billion of the capital plan assigned by the Prime Minister.
Of these, local budget capital has been disbursed VND 2,331 billion, reaching 53.39% of the plan; Central budget capital has only reached VND 1,443 billion, equivalent to 18.99%, a figure much lower than the Government's progress requirements.
Quang Tri province has just been supplemented with capital in 2025 for the Coastal Road and Nhat Le 3 Bridge projects and the National Highway 15D project from My Thuy Port to Cam Lo - La Son Expressway with a total capital for both projects of 2,580 billion VND.
Faced with this situation, Chairman of the People's Committee of Quang Tri province Tran Phong requested departments, branches, localities and investors to resolutely implement solutions to speed up the disbursement progress, especially for key projects and works celebrating the 80th anniversary of National Day on September 2.
At the same time, the Chairman of the People's Committee of Quang Tri province directed working groups to strengthen supervision, remove difficulties at each project, and promptly report to the province for direction and handling.
One of the urgent tasks is to start resettlement projects to serve the North-South high-speed railway section through the area.
The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee also requested the completion of the program to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses for poor and near-poor households before August 30, 2025, considering this a key social indicator in this year's public investment strategy.
In addition, Mr. Tran Phong assigned specific tasks to each department and branch in areas such as public investment planning, reasonable staff allocation, training of commune-level cadres, natural disaster prevention - epidemic prevention, tourism development, education - training, science - technology... to ensure synchronization in development.
Non-budgetary investment accelerates
