Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha requested to focus on drastic implementation of solutions to promote disbursement of public investment capital.

The clear and specific assignment of tasks to each project group and each responsible leader shows the province's high political determination in achieving the disbursement target.
Nghe An aims to disburse over 95% of the assigned capital plan by the end of 2025. To achieve this goal, sectors, localities and investors in the area have been promoting coordination, regularly reviewing and removing bottlenecks related to investment procedures, bidding, site clearance, adjusting capital plans and project implementation progress.
On March 6, 2025, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 523/QD-TTg on the establishment of 7 working groups to inspect, urge, remove difficulties and obstacles and promote the annual disbursement of public investment capital at ministries, central agencies and localities.
