Reviewing and cutting capital plans for slow projects
The Deputy Prime Minister requested ministries, sectors and localities to effectively regulate capital between tasks and projects using capital from the medium-term public investment plan for 2021-2025 and those using capital from the socio-economic development and recovery program during the implementation of the state budget investment plan in 2023, ensuring the disbursement as per the provisions of Resolution No. 43/2022/QH15 of the National Assembly.
Review and reduce capital plans of slow projects to supplement capital for projects that are able to be disbursed and need additional capital, in which priority is given to allocating capital for key projects, projects linking regions, promoting growth, and disburse all assigned capital plans; send the decision on capital adjustment between projects to Ministry of Planning and Investment and the Ministry of Finance to monitor and control the disbursement.
Ministries, sectors and localities must uphold public investment discipline and strictly handle violations that make the delaying in capital allocation and disbursement; individualize the responsibility of the head in case of slow disbursement, attaching the disbursement results with the assessment of the level of completion of the assigned tasks.
The disbursement rate of ministries, central agencies and localities by the end of the fiscal year 2023 does not reach at least 90% of the plan, which is one of the criteria to assess the performance of officers and those who have fulfilled the task for two consecutive years, may be considered for dismissal under provisions of Decision No. 41-QD/TW dated November 3, 2021 of the Central executive committee.
