In addition, after reviewing and adjusting the medium-term public investment plan for the 2021-2025 period from the central budget, based on the principle of downward adjustment, the Provincial People's Committee proposed a list of projects proposed to adjust the medium-term public investment plan for the 2021-2025 period, including 14 projects with a proposed capital reduction of 163.17 billion VND.
Thus, the total capital of the tasks and projects proposed to be adjusted down in the medium-term public investment plan for the 2021-2025 period from the central budget is 201,094 billion VND.
Because currently, basically all projects in the medium-term public investment plan for the period 2021-2025 from the central budget of the province have been allocated enough capital according to the approved total investment, there is no need to supplement the medium-term plan. Based on the supplementary principle, the Provincial People's Committee submitted to the Provincial People's Council for consideration and additional allocation of the above 201,094 billion VND for 2 new projects outside the assigned medium-term public investment plan, which are urgent projects of the province.
