Public investment disbursement in the northern province of Quang Ninh reached 27 percent as of mid-June, much lower than the target, according to the provincial Department of Planning and Investment.
Deputy Prime Minister Vuong Dinh Hue on May 24 asked the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Education and Training, and Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to quickly address their slow disbursement of public investment.
Slow disbursement of public investment has left Thailand plodding behind faster-growing Southeast Asian economies, according to a study by University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce.
