Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh speaks at the conference

Chairing a national conference on Tuesday focused on accelerating public investment disbursement, the Prime Minister emphasized the importance of public investment in guiding and activating all social resources.

He noted that the Government has established five working groups and dispatched 26 teams to localities to address difficulties and promote socio-economic development. This includes speeding up public investment disbursement and implementing the three national target programs.

Despite these efforts, disbursement results have not met expectations. Currently, 33 out of 44 ministries and central agencies, as well as 28 out of 63 localities, have reported disbursement rates below the national average.

The Prime Minister urged participants to analyze the reasons behind this situation, particularly challenges related to institutional and legal regulations, as well as issues in leadership, management, and implementation activities.

He proposed reallocating funds from stagnant projects to more effective ones and using the disbursement of public investment capital as a criterion for evaluating the performance of officials, especially those in leadership positions.
