Director of the Department of Roads, Bui Quang Thai, has issued a written reprimand to 21 Departments of Construction and 1 project management board for delays in public investment disbursement.
Reports from investors and project management boards indicate that as of September 10th, the volume of acceptance and disbursement is significantly behind schedule, failing to meet registered plans and required timelines. Some units have also neglected to fully comply with reporting procedures, hindering the department’s management and operational oversight.
To address this issue, the Department of Roads demands that investors and project management boards intensify their efforts, accelerate implementation, and expedite the disbursement of management and maintenance funds. Units must devise specific solutions to overcome challenges and ensure 100% disbursement of allocated capital for 2025.

The department also mandates a thorough review to identify surplus funds or unspendable capital, with results reported back to the department. Units are accountable for delays or inaccurate reporting. Data must be regularly updated on the road maintenance cost planning and estimation software, with periodic reports submitted in writing by the 28th of each month.
Specialized divisions within the department are tasked with closely monitoring, inspecting, and consolidating reports for leadership. The Planning and Finance Division is responsible for proposing solutions for surplus or unused funds based on unit data, ensuring disbursement levels remain high.
Additionally, the Director of the Department of Roads has assigned deputy directors to directly engage with localities and units facing delays, aiming to resolve bottlenecks and accelerate project execution and fund disbursement. Relevant localities and Departments of Construction are urged to collaborate and report promptly to prevent delays that could impact overall plans.

Prime Minister: Ensuring 100% Disbursement of Public Investment Capital
On the morning of September 17th, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and Deputy Prime Ministers chaired the 3rd National Conference on Accelerating Public Investment for 2025. The Prime Minister mandated the full disbursement of 100% of the 2025 public investment capital, emphasizing improved investment quality and zero tolerance for corruption, negativity, or waste. Public investment is to be leveraged as a key driver for growth, job creation, sustainable livelihoods, and enhanced living standards for the people.
“Capital Investment Allocation Exceeds 95% of the Planned Target”
With a staggering public investment capital of over 1 quadrillion VND, 2025 is considered a pivotal year to boost economic growth. While there has been an improvement in progress compared to the same period last year, meeting the year-end target of 100% will require an even more aggressive push from all levels of government, industries, and localities. The government is closely monitoring the situation, and it’s time to step up our efforts to drive the economy forward.
Unlocking Public Investment Capital: Empowering Local Governments to Drive Development
While some localities have achieved positive results with high disbursement rates, many others are facing challenges due to obstacles in site clearance, lack of materials, and delays in project implementation.
“Enhancing Connectivity: Forging Transport Links Between Ho Chi Minh City and Long Thanh International Airport”
Vice President of the National Assembly, Vu Hong Thanh, has urged Dong Nai to expedite the construction of road and rail networks, particularly those connecting Long Thanh Airport with Ho Chi Minh City. This development strategy is envisioned to foster greater connectivity and promote seamless travel between these key locations.
“Pursuing Excellence: Achieving Socio-Economic Goals for 2025”
The Prime Minister has urged all ministries, sectors, and localities to rally and address challenges, limitations, and shortcomings. By seizing every opportunity, we aim to achieve the economic and social development goals set for 2025, especially targeting a GDP growth rate of 8.3 – 8.5%, keeping CPI increase below 4.5%, and maintaining macroeconomic stability. These efforts will lay the foundation for even greater success in 2026, with aspirations to reach a growth rate of 10% and beyond.
