Just speeding up the progress...
According to a report by the Thanh Hoa Department of Finance, the total public investment plan from the provincial budget in 2025 is VND 25,023.73 billion. By the end of September, the disbursement rate of public investment capital in this province had only reached about 49.5% of the plan.
Implementing the Prime Minister's Official Dispatch No. 169/CD-TTg on key tasks and solutions to promote the disbursement of public investment capital in 2025, the People's Committee of Thanh Hoa province has issued Plan No. 210/KH-UBND on the "90-day and night campaign for public investment capital disbursement". This campaign will be implemented from October 2 to December 31, 2025, setting specific progress milestones: by October 31, it will reach at least 60%; by November 30, it will reach 70%; and by December 31, 100% of the capital plan must be completed.
As of today (November 2), after a month of implementation, the disbursement progress in the province has changed significantly. Many large projects in the area are speeding up construction speed.
As of October 14, the whole province of Thanh Hoa has disbursed VND 14,692.7 billion, reaching 58.7%, 9.5% higher than the national disbursement rate; 4.2% higher than the target set in the campaign.
In addition to the above positive changes, the report of the Department of Finance shows that there are still 112 investors with unsatisfactory disbursement rates, of which 79 units disburse below the average. The main reason is the slow compensation and site clearance. As of October 15, the whole province has cleared 1,334 hectares of land, reaching 55.18% of the target assigned by the Provincial People's Committee.
In addition, some localities and units are slow to adjust investors after the two-level local government has put them into operation; the organizational capacity of some Project Management Boards is still weak; the disbursement progress of projects using additional central capital according to Resolution 37/2021/QH15 is still slow (only reaching 8.1% of the plan). Along with that is the shortage of construction materials, fluctuations in sand, stone, and fill soil prices and complicated legal procedures in granting licenses for material mining.
Mr. Nguyen Hoai Anh - Chairman of Thanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee has requested departments, branches, sectors and localities to promote the highest sense of responsibility, seriously grasp the direction of the Provincial People's Committee, especially the 9-day and night peak campaign, considering this a key action of the fourth quarter. The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested determination to complete 100% of the disbursement plan before December 31, determined not to let there be delays due to subjectivity, avoidance or lack of determination in direction and management.
"The results of public investment disbursement will be a "measure" to evaluate the effectiveness and level of task completion of the units. Investors with good capacity and high capital absorption capacity will be prioritized by the Provincial People's Committee, considering allocating higher investment capital in the coming time" - Chairman of Thanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee emphasized.
To implement the above plan, the People's Committee of Thanh Hoa province has also issued a series of specific measures to remove difficulties such as allowing the increase of material mine capacity; consider implementing the policy of not auctioning exploitation rights to grant licenses under special mechanisms, creating conditions for contractors to have stable raw material sources, contributing to speeding up the disbursement and construction progress of the project.
... has just asked to stop
In addition to accelerating progress, on October 24, the Chairman of the People's Committee of Thanh Hoa province also signed an official dispatch requesting the review and suspension of implementation of public investment projects that are not really necessary and urgent, projects that have been decided by competent authorities but have not been implemented.
Accordingly, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee assigned functional units to review and propose stopping the implementation of projects (including projects that have selected contractors) that are not really urgent and urgent, projects that have investment policies and investment decisions but have not been implemented, and are unable to balance capital.
The review and proposal to stop is applied to projects managed by the province (including projects decided by the district level on investment policies, investment decisions handed over to the provincial level after the district level is abolished), and also to projects managed by the commune level (including projects decided by the district level on investment policies, investment decisions handed over to the commune level).
The Chairman of Thanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee also requested the People's Committees of communes and wards not to decide on investment policies for new projects except for truly urgent projects, to reserve capital for completed projects and transitional projects under their management.
