Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has directed ministries, central agencies, and localities to ensure 100% disbursement of public investment capital in 2025, urging serious implementation of Government resolutions, directives, and instructions.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on September 11 signed an official dispatch, urging ministries, agencies, and localities to step up the disbursement of public investment capital this year.

Chairing the September 10 meeting of Working Group No. 8, which monitors, addresses bottlenecks, and promotes public investment disbursement for six ministries and central agencies, Deputy PM Mai Van Chinh pointed out that their disbursement progress in August remained significantly lower than the average of other ministries, central agencies, and the nation as a whole.

As of the end of August 2025, public investment disbursement from the state budget is estimated at over 434 trillion VND, equivalent to 39.79% of the annual plan. This rate is higher than the same period in 2024, but the progress still falls short of requirements, demanding ministries, sectors, and localities to urgently remove bottlenecks and coordinate effectively to meet the set targets.

In 2025, Thanh Hoa province is assigned to manage and use more than 14 trillion VND of public investment capital. As of July 17, the cumulative disbursement of public investment capital reached 5.755 trillion VND, equal to 40.5% of the annual plan.

Viet Nam’s GDP growth of 7.96% in the second quarter is an encouraging figure, pulling first-half GDP growth to 7.52% — the highest level in the past 15 years. In the second quarter, the industrial and construction sector and the services sector posted impressive growth rates of 8.97% and 8.46% respectively, continuing to serve as the pillars of economic growth.
