The Standing Government Committee emphasized that while 24 segments were initially planned for PPP investment, only 3 have been implemented under this model. However, there is now significant interest from many investors, which is highly encouraging.
To ensure the overall effectiveness of the investment, multiple expansion plans must be researched and proposed. Careful, comprehensive calculations are essential to safeguard state interests, prevent financial losses, and avoid corruption or negativity.
To mobilize social resources, the Ministry of Construction confirmed that the project will proceed under the PPP model, utilizing the Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) contract. Following the issuance of Resolution 68 on private economic development by the Politburo, 10 companies have expressed interest in participating.
