Urgent Review and Reporting of Investment Results 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 ambitious goals. These include achieving a national economic growth rate of over 8% in 2025, 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 this end, 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 People’s Committees of provinces and centrally-run cities are tasked with the following responsibilities:
a) Ensure thorough understanding and strict implementation of Government Resolutions and the Prime Minister’s directives among all officials and civil servants. This includes modernizing public service, enhancing administrative discipline, and reducing processing times for investment procedures. The guiding principle is to place citizens and businesses at the center of service delivery, adhering to the “6 Clears”: “clear responsibilities,” “clear tasks,” “clear timelines,” “clear deadlines,” “clear authority,” and “clear outcomes,” as well as the “3 Nos”: “no red tape or negativity,” “no evasion or blame-shifting,” and “no backlog or delays.”
b) Direct subordinate agencies and units to expedite the processing of investment-related files across all levels and sectors. This should be done professionally, transparently, democratically, and in a modern manner. Issues within the jurisdiction of ministries, sectors, or localities must be proactively addressed without evasion, fear of mistakes, or shirking responsibility.
c) Accelerate digitization, automation, and data interoperability. Enhance governance capacity, improve labor productivity, and reduce costs and processing times.
Standardizing Investment Reporting Templates for Ministries, Central Agencies, and Localities
The Prime Minister has tasked the Ministry of Finance with developing standardized reporting templates, information fields, and data for investment results in the first nine months of 2025. This is in accordance with Articles 69, 70, and 72 of the Investment Law, ensuring uniformity, completeness, ease of implementation, and usability.
The Ministry of Finance must urgently issue guidelines to ministries, central agencies, and localities for uniform reporting using the developed templates, to be completed by October 12, 2025.
The Ministry of Finance will compile reports from all ministries and localities and submit them to the Prime Minister by October 20, 2025.
Deadline for Reporting Investment Results: October 15
Ministries, agencies, and People’s Committees of provinces and centrally-run cities are required to submit their investment reports for the first nine months of 2025 to the Prime Minister by October 15, 2025, based on their functions, tasks, and the Ministry of Finance’s guidelines. Copies should also be sent to the Minister of Finance and the Minister and Chairman of the Government Office. Any challenges encountered 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 issues faced by agencies, units, and localities within his authority. Matters 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.
