Urgent Review and Reporting of Investment Activities for the First Nine Months of 2025
|
To further strengthen state management in investment activities, create a favorable investment environment for businesses, and unlock resources from both the state and society, the Prime Minister has set a goal to achieve a national economic growth rate of over 8% in 2025. This includes disbursing 100% of the capital allocated by the Prime Minister and maintaining double-digit growth in the 2026-2030 period. Additionally, there is a focus on accelerating digital transformation, developing the digital economy, green economy, and circular economy to propel the nation into a new era. To achieve these objectives, the Prime Minister has issued the following directives:
Streamlining Administrative Procedures in Investment Activities
Ministers, heads of ministerial-level agencies, government-attached agencies, and chairpersons of provincial people’s committees are required to focus on the following tasks:
Thoroughly disseminate and rigorously implement the Government’s resolutions and the Prime Minister’s directives to all officials and civil servants involved in state investment management. This includes modernizing public service, enhancing administrative discipline, and reducing the time required for administrative procedures in investment activities. The approach should prioritize citizens and businesses as the central focus, guided by the principles of “6 Clears” (clear responsibilities, tasks, timelines, deadlines, authorities, and outcomes) and “3 Nos” (no red tape, no evasion of responsibility, and no backlog of files or delays).
Direct subordinate agencies and units to expedite the processing of investment-related files at all levels and sectors, ensuring professionalism, transparency, democracy, and modernity. Issues within the jurisdiction of ministries, sectors, and localities must be proactively addressed without evasion or fear of mistakes and accountability.
Promote digitization, automation, and data interoperability; enhance governance capacity and labor productivity while reducing costs and processing times.
Guidance for Ministries, Central Agencies, and Localities on Unified Investment Reporting Templates
The Prime Minister has tasked the Ministry of Finance with developing content, templates, and data fields for reporting investment results for the first nine months of 2025, in accordance with Articles 69, 70, and 72 of the Investment Law. These templates must be unified, comprehensive, easy to implement, and user-friendly.
The Ministry of Finance is also required to promptly issue guidelines for ministries, central agencies, and localities to submit their investment reports using the developed templates, ensuring completion by October 12, 2025.
The Ministry of Finance will consolidate reports from all ministries and localities and submit them to the Prime Minister by October 20, 2025.
Submission of Investment Reports for the First Nine Months by October 15
The Prime Minister has instructed ministries, agencies, and people’s committees of provinces and centrally-run cities to prepare and submit their investment reports for the first nine months of 2025 by October 15, 2025, based on their assigned functions, tasks, and authorities, and in accordance with the Ministry of Finance’s guidelines. Reports should be sent to the Prime Minister, the Minister of Finance, and the Minister and Chairman of the Government Office. Any challenges encountered during implementation should be promptly reported to the Ministry of Finance for guidance.
Deputy Prime Minister Hồ Đức Phớc is responsible for overseeing, directing, and resolving any difficulties faced by agencies, units, and localities within his authority. Issues beyond his authority should be reported to the Prime Minister.
The Government Office will monitor and urge all ministries, agencies, and localities to swiftly implement this directive.
