Focusing on allocating the 2025 central budget investment plan, avoiding scattering resources
The Deputy Prime Minister requested that, based on the assigned 2025 state budget investment plan, estimates, and public investment plans financed by central budget revenue increases, along with extended implementation and disbursement durations for central budget capital plans, heads of ministries, central agencies, and chairpersons of the People’s Committees of provinces and centrally-run cities, allocate the 2025 central budget investment plan in a focused manner, avoiding scattering and fragmentation.
Review and cut capital plans for slowly-implemented projects to reallocate funds to well-performing, capital-demanding projects, giving priority to key national projects, important projects, expressways, connecting projects, inter-regional projects with significant impacts on socio-economic development, and projects capable of absorbing capital, in accordance with regulations. Ensure full disbursement of allocated capital; send reports to the Ministry of Planning and Investment and the Ministry of Finance, and promptly update allocation and adjustment results on the National Public Investment Information System for monitoring and control of disbursement.
Uphold discipline in public investment, strengthen inspection and supervision of task performance by relevant individuals and units, and personalize responsibility of leaders in case of slow disbursement. Associate the performance assessment and ranking of individuals and units with the disbursement progress of each project. Promptly replace, transfer, or strictly handle violators or those who cause obstructions, shirk responsibilities, or work slowly, affecting capital allocation and disbursement. Strive for a minimum disbursement rate of 95% of the assigned plan in 2025; the disbursement rate is one of the important criteria for evaluating and ranking officials and civil servants at the end of the year.
The Metro Line: A Vision for Progress
A proposal to bring progress and development to the city, with a new vision for the Metro Ben Thanh – Tham Luong line, now to be realized with a government-funded budget.
The Ho Chi Minh City authorities have announced that the 11-kilometer Ben Thanh – Tham Luong section of the Metro Line 2 will now be funded by the state budget, rather than through ODA capital as previously planned. This shift in funding sources underscores the government’s commitment to modernizing the city’s transport infrastructure and creating a seamless, efficient, and world-class metro system.
