According to the Ministry of Finance (MoF), this result marks a notable improvement over the same period in 2024, when the disbursement rate stood at 28.2%. The strong performance reflects growing momentum in public investment, reinforcing its role as a key driver of economic growth.

The MoF credited the progress to the strong and focused guidance provided by the Government and the Prime Minister, particularly after the May 2025 conference on speeding up public investment disbursement, noting that ministries, agencies, and localities have consistently resolved bottlenecks where they arise to overcome obstacles effectively.

From the beginning of the year, the ministry promptly submitted to the Prime Minister the public investment plan for 2025, including allocations from increased central budget revenues. It also extended the implementation and disbursement period for the central budget capital plan for relevant ministries, central agencies, and localities. In addition, the ministry issued guiding documents to ensure the timely and goal-oriented deployment of capital.

Recognising ongoing challenges in disbursement progress, the MoF compiled and addressed difficulties and recommendations arising during implementation. Based on its recommendations, the Prime Minister decided to established seven task forces to inspect, supervise, and resolve obstacles, thereby accelerating public investment disbursement across all levels.

The MoF also prepared a comprehensive report for the Prime Minister’s conference on promoting public investment as a growth driver in 2025. The report analyses the current status of investment disbursement, highlights persistent issues, and proposes solutions to ensure timely, high-quality, and efficient capital utilisation, while clearly defining the responsibilities of relevant agencies and leadership.

The ministry advised the Government to seek National Assembly approval for expanding the application of special mechanisms to resolve long-standing project issues. It submitted a draft proposal to the Politburo, through the Government Party Committee, outlining principles and solutions for handling complex, delayed projects, building on past guidance from the Politburo and National Assembly.

Thanks to these comprehensive and determined efforts, particularly especially the direct and sustained guidance of the Prime Minister, the pace of public investment disbursement saw significant improvement in June 2025, surpassing the performance of the same period last year.
