Timely Replacement of Underperforming Officials
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has recently signed a Telegram on accelerating the disbursement of public investment capital in the final months of 2025.
In the Telegram, the Prime Minister commended 12 ministries, central agencies, and 20 localities for achieving disbursement rates above the national average. Notably, some flood-affected areas still managed to meet their disbursement targets and goals.
Conversely, the Prime Minister criticized 22 ministries, sectors, central agencies, and 12 localities for their below-average disbursement rates.
The Prime Minister mandates the replacement of underperforming officials and civil servants in public investment capital disbursement.
According to the Telegram, the 11-month public investment capital disbursement rate is estimated at 60.6% of the plan. With limited time remaining in 2025, a substantial amount of capital (approximately 360 trillion VND) still needs to be disbursed.
To expedite this process, the Prime Minister urges ministers, heads of central agencies, and leaders of provinces and cities to prioritize public investment as a key political task and a criterion for evaluating officials.
Agencies and units must urgently allocate the remaining 2025 capital plan to specific tasks and projects. They should implement decisive and timely measures to enhance the execution and disbursement of public investment capital and national target program funds.
The Prime Minister emphasizes stricter discipline and legal penalties for investors, project management boards, organizations, and individuals deliberately obstructing or delaying capital allocation, implementation, and disbursement.
Underperforming, sluggish, or corrupt officials and civil servants must be promptly replaced. Negative behaviors in public investment management will be rigorously addressed. Inspections and audits will target improper mining license allocations leading to material price speculation.
Immediately Resolve Land Clearance and Mining Licensing Issues
The Prime Minister instructs agencies and units to develop detailed weekly and monthly disbursement plans for each project. Specific leaders must be assigned to monitor project progress, address bottlenecks, and ensure accountability for disbursement results, which will be a key performance indicator for 2025.
Localities should focus on resolving land clearance compensation issues, mining licenses, and material extraction (stone, sand, soil) for projects. They must also expedite payment and settlement of public investment capital to avoid delays in completed work payments.

Weekly reports on slow-disbursing entities and flexible solutions should be submitted to the Prime Minister. Disbursement rates will be publicly announced weekly through media channels.
The Ministry of Construction, in collaboration with relevant agencies, must closely monitor the construction material market, especially key materials, and propose solutions to ensure supply, demand, and price control.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment should promptly address mining licensing and material extraction issues (stone, sand, soil, gravel) for public investment projects, ensuring compliance with legal procedures. They must also resolve legal and procedural challenges related to land clearance for socio-economic and key transport projects.
