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.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has established eight working groups to remove difficulties related to production, business, infrastructure construction, and imports and exports, as well as promote growth and accelerate disbursement of public investment capital.
