Hanoi targets to disburse 100% of the target amount this year to aid the city’s economic development.
To speed up disbursement of public investment funds, including ODA, Hanoi has been implementing a number of measures since the beginning of the year, including a review of the existing legislation to specify responsibilities of local agencies.
Public investment is considered Hanoi’s top priority to ensure economic recovery in the post Covid-19 pandemic era.
Hanoi's Party chief Vuong Dinh Hue previously suggested that the city should set up a tasks force with the aim of speeding up the disbursement progress, and each process must be tied to individuals' responsibility.
In the first seven months of this year, the Vietnamese government has disbursed VND203 trillion (US$8.83 billion) worth of public investment, equivalent to 42.7% of the year’s target and up 27.7% year-on-year.
This year, Vietnam is expected to disburse VND700 trillion (US$30 billion), more than double the actual amount in 2019 of VND312 trillion (US$13.4 billion).
