Hanoi (VNA) – More than44.6 trillion VND (1.95 billion USD) of public investment was disbursed inthe first two months of 2022, equivalent to 8.61 percent of this year’s targetand higher than the rate of 5.09 percent in the same period last year.

The Ministry of Finance said thedisbursement rates for domestic and foreign capital reached 9.22 percent and 0.2 percent,compared to the respective figures of 5.68 percent and 0.38 percent seen duringthe same period last year.

Seven ministries and 20 localities have recorded a disbursement rate of over 15percent, including the Vietnam Fatherland Front Central Committee 32.65percent, Thai Binh 31.7 percent, and Lai Chau 27.3 percent.

However, the ministry held that the two-month disbursement was still low compared to thetargets, blaming on the fact that in January, ministries, central agencies, andlocalities had to focus on paying for the workload completed in 2021 and allocating capital for 2022

The long Lunar New Year holiday inFebruary and the complicated COVID-19 situation in some localities have alsoconsiderably affected the disbursement speed, according to the ministry./.
