Long An improves efficiency of public investment
Long
An (VNA) – Over 1.14 trillion VND (49.5 million USD) have been
disbursed in the southern province of Long An since the beginning of this year,
or 21.9 percent of the target, equivalent to 65.7 percent recorded in the same
period last year, reported the provincial Department of Planning and Investment.
Director
of the department Huynh Van Son said the province allocated over 5.2 trillion
VND to projects this year, more than 3.5 trillion VND of which are managed by the
province and the remaining by districts.
The
sum was used for major socio-economic development and breakthrough programmes,
and key works.
The
province also earmarked capital to deal with social welfare and national
defence-security issues, as well as cope with climate change. Beneficiary projects
must be in the list of mid-term public investment plan for the 2021-2025
period.
To
improve the efficiency of public investment in remaining months of this year,
Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Ut asked district
authorities stepping up online bidding and disbursement, ensuring openness,
transparency, fairness and efficiency in line with the law.
The
locality will also continue effectively dealing with difficulties in site
clearance, compensation and offer support in resettlement, particularly in
major projects, he said./.
