Hanoi (VNA) – About 9 tril⭕lion VND (382 million USD) of public investment capital from foreign sources has been disbursed in the first 11 months this year, accounting for only 26% of theallocated capital.
According to the Finance Ministry’s Department of DebtManagement and External Finance, 13 ministries and 59 localities across thecountry were allocated nearly 34.6 trillion VND of foreign-sourced capital forpublic investment projects this year. Vo Huu Hien, vice head of the department said that untilnow, 8 ministries and 33 localities wanted to return the capital as they areunable to disburse it on time. Hien said that reasons for the slowdisbursement included failure to complete investmentprocedures or procedures to adjust investment policies, changes in credit agreements, or natural disasters. The official added that in May 2022, the Prime Minister also allocatedabout 5.32 trillion VND from remaining capital in 2021 to ministries and localities, and many localities had focused efforts on disbursing this capital rather than this year's. The implementation of foreign-sourced programmes andprojects faces problems, mainly in delayed site clearance, resettlement, andbidding; problems in bidding and appraisal; and adjustment of projects' investmentpolicies. Obstacles in terms of regulations and mechanisms, and natural disasters and floods in some regions also hindered the disbursement./.
