The reason for the large advance payments was explained by the provincial Treasury as being that the previous mechanism for advance payments under contracts did not stipulate advance payment guarantees, and up to now there has been no specific sanction for investors to require contractors to pay advance payments.

Many projects in Tuong Duong, Ky Son, Quy Chau, Que Phong districts... are affected by weather, storms, flash floods, etc., so construction progress is slow, there are problems with compensation and completion of procedures.

However, according to the reporting unit, the capital recovery work is currently due to the settled value being smaller than the paid amount. Up to now, there are still 629 projects with a receivable amount of 24.8 billion VND.
