Addressing the conference, Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính stressed that public investment is a key political task and plays a vital role in promoting economic growth, regulating and stabilising the macro-economy, and maintaining major economic balances.
He noted that public investment not only boosts aggregate demand but also helps build strategic infrastructure, expand development space, enhance national competitiveness and reduce production and business costs.
The Prime Minister pointed out that time remaining to complete the 2025 disbursement targets is limited while the workload remains substantial.
He urged ministries, sectors and localities to draw lessons, address shortcomings, and strive to achieve the highest possible disbursement rate in 2025, while accelerating capital allocation from the beginning of 2026 to support the goal of double-digit economic growth in 2026.
The Prime Minister also directed relevant agencies to promptly address bottlenecks related to institutions, site clearance and construction material supply, strengthen inspection and supervision, and link the accountability of leaders with disbursement outcomes.
He emphasised that public investment should be focused and should not spread thinly, with projects completed decisively.
Ministries, sectors and localities were urged to act more proactively and decisively, avoid reliance or delay, and take responsibility to achieve the highest possible public investment disbursement in line with assigned plans.
