According to the Resolutions of the People's Council, the total capital for construction investment from the provincial budget for the period 2012 - 2014 approved by the Provincial People's Council is 8,233,481 million VND, allocated to districts, enterprises, ODA counterpart capital, loans to invest in the Vinh - Cua Lo Highway; Of which, there are 3 capital sources balanced by the Central Government, which are additional capital from the Central budget, capital of the national target program and government bond capital.

The Provincial People's Committee has reviewed the targets, plans, and capital allocation in accordance with the principles and criteria of the People's Council's resolution, prioritizing the repayment of construction debt, and prioritizing capital allocation to accelerate the progress of key projects. For transitional projects or newly started projects, the scale has been reviewed, the progress has been extended, postponed, or new construction has been limited to suit the ability to balance capital sources, avoiding capital dispersion, causing waste and loss.

Comrade Nguyen Xuan Son - Member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council chaired the meeting.

Evaluating the investment in construction in the period of 2012 - 2014, the Provincial People's Committee has closely followed the solutions according to the Resolution of the Provincial People's Council on mobilizing investment capital and effectively implemented Directives 1792/CT-TTg, 27/CT-TTg, 14/CT-TTg of the Prime Minister on the management and deployment of budget capital. The work of planning, construction planning - economic and social development has been increasingly focused on, improving quality. The work of disbursement and debt repayment has basically completed the annual plan targets. The appraisal and approval of designs, estimates, and projects were assigned to the Department of Transport, Department of Construction, Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, Department of Planning and Investment for appraisal, cutting and saving 5.1% of the investment level.

In addition, there are still difficulties and shortcomings in the investment in construction, the most notable of which is the implementation and assurance of the requirements of Directive 1792 on strengthening investment management from state budget capital and government bond capital. Specifically, the situation of scattered construction works, although it has been overcome, still does not meet the requirements of the directive. The reason is due to difficulties in mobilizing and allocating capital; the preparation work for project implementation is prolonged, the budget for site clearance (GPMB) is not met or not transparent, and the bidding work is still inadequate. The situation of outstanding debt of construction capital is difficult in the process of arranging counterpart capital to repay the debt. The provincial budget debt compiled by the Department of Planning and Investment is more than 800 billion, the total construction debt of all levels compiled by the Department of Finance is 2,759 billion. In addition, the management and control of investors at all levels is still limited and depends on contractors, leading to construction progress and quality of some projects not being guaranteed.

Mr. Nguyen Van Do - Provincial Party Committee member, Director of Department of Planning and Investment reported the results.

After listening to the report of the Provincial People's Committee, summarizing the results of supervision at the grassroots level and the opinions of the members of the delegation, comrade Nguyen Xuan Son concluded: The investment work of basic construction closely follows and is timely with the resolutions of the People's Council, the Directives and policies of the Central Committee. He agreed with the proposal to promote socialization, public investment, attract investment to create revenue sources to increase the local budget to balance counterpart funds, and focus on debt repayment. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to the reflections and proposals from the grassroots level on site clearance work; appraising the design of the project to ensure requirements; strengthening the review of the quality of the Project Management Board; paying attention to the disbursement and settlement work. It is necessary to closely coordinate, clearly assign and decentralize tasks and enhance the state management responsibilities of all levels and sectors so that the investment work of basic construction is highly effective.
