Deputy Prime Minister Le Minh Khai on April 13 ordered tightening discipline in the disbursement of public investment capital, stating that it is the responsibility of ministries and agencies’ leaders.
Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City - the country's economic locomotives - recorded the highest disbursement of public investment capital in January, with nearly 2.7 trillion VND (117 million USD) and more than 1.63 trillion VND, respectively, reported the General Statistics Office.
Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc was worried about the slow disbursement of public investment capital while chairing the government’s regular meeting in Hanoi on October 3, noting that only 55 percent of the year’s investment plan has been disbursed so far.
