Son La moves to clear bottlenecks in public investment disbursement

Nguyen Minh Tien, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee, on October 31 chaired a hybrid conference on the 2025 public investment disbursement.

According to the Department of Finance, the province’s total public investment plan for 2025 is over 8.5 trillion VND (323.01 million USD). As of October 30, only 3.49 trillion VND has been disbursed, equivalent to 49.5% of the allocated capital.

At the public investment disbursement conference.

At the conference, the Department of Finance presented a comprehensive report on disbursement scenario planning, including detailed progress charts for each project by the respective investors. Delegates focused on analysing and clarifying obstacles and the reasons for underperformance against the planned disbursement targets. Key challenges identified included issues with compensation and site clearance, as well as heavy rainfall in 2025, which disrupted construction activities.

Concluding the meeting, Tien underscored that with only a short time left in 2025, the challenge of disbursing public investment funds remains formidable. He urged departments, agencies, commune and ward authorities, and project investors to treat this as a key political priority, acting with utmost focus and responsibility.

Nguyen Minh Tien, Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee, speaks at the conference.

Tien pointed out that, despite having cleared land, delays in disbursement are due to the capacity and responsibility of investors in supervising contractors and organising construction. He urged local authorities and units to strengthen discipline and compliance. Project management leaders, he said, must be more proactive, regularly present at construction sites to monitor progress and promptly resolve difficulties.

He affirmed the province’s determination to maximise public investment disbursement in 2025, playing a key role in driving the province’s socio-economic growth.
