The Minister of Transport recently requested the establishment of a special working group to boost the disbursement of public investment capital for projects in the transport sector.

Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung has said low disbursement of public investment capital amid the COVID-19 pandemic could waste resources and result in the loss of opportunities to create a driving force for economic development.

The disbursement rate of public investment capital in 2021 is expected to reach between 95%-100% of the plan assigned by the Prime Minister, according to the Ministry of Planning and Investment.

Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung has asked ministries, central agencies, and localities to continue applying measures to speed up the disbursement of public investment capital, with the aim of completing 90% of disbursement planned for 2021 by the fourth quarter of the year.
