Public investment to focus on key projects to create impetus for economic growth

HÀ NỘI — Public investment will focus on key national projects with important roles in enhancing regional links and creating new drivers and room for economic growth, Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyễn Chí Dũng has said.

Last year saw the highest public investment disbursement rate in  二0 一 六- 二0 as the Government identified public investment as a major driver for growth in the context of the COVID- 一 九 pandemic.

The Ministry of Planning and Investment estimated the public investment disbursement rate would reach more than  九0 per cent of the plan as of the end January  三 一 (the deadline for disbursement of  二0 二0 public investment), compared to  七 三. 三 per cent of  二0 一 七,  六 六. 八 per cent of  二0 一 八 and  六 七. 四 六 per cent of  二0 一 九.

There were  一 七 ministries, central-level agencies and  一 七 localities with disbursement rates of more than  八0 per cent as of December  三 一,  二0 二0. However,  一 三 ministries and central-level agencies and five localities had disbursement rates below  六0 per cent.

According to Nguyễn Mạnh Quyền, Deputy Chairman of Hà Nội People’s Co妹妹ittee, the capital city disbursed about VNĐ 四0. 七 trillion worth of public investment or  九 三 per cent of the plan.

HCM City disbursed VNĐ 三 一. 五 trillion of public investment in  二0 二0,  一. 七 times higher than  二0 一 九, Lê Thị Huỳnh Mai, Director of the municipal Department of Planning and Investment, said.

These figures showed that never before was public investment disbursement as quick and strong as in  二0 二0, said Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment Trần Quốc Phương.

“It is public investment that drove GDP growth in  二0 二0,” he said.

Phương pointed out that total social investment accounted for  三 四 per cent of GDP and public investment  二 五 per cent of the total social investment, meaning public investment made up about  六- 七 per cent of GDP.

“Taking into account the impacts of public investment, public investment plays a really important role in growth,” Phương said.

Despite this progress, speeding up the disbursement of public investment remains a priority in  二0 二 一.

Phương said that the Law on Public Investment No  三 九/ 二0 一 九/QH 一 四 which took effect from the beginning of this year would help tighten management of the entire process of public investment. In addition, the decentralisation of management would also be enhanced together with increasing accountabilities for higher efficiency of public investment.

With the new regulations, plans for public investment would also be more accurate and practical, Phương said.

Sums which were failed to be disbursed would be deducted from the medium-term public investment plan, Phương said.

There were always differences between plans and real implementation but “don’t let the gap be too big,” Phương said.

In  二0 二 一, the ministry will regularly update about the progress of public investment disbursement to give a timely push to the progress, he added. — VNS
