Regarding the disbursement of public investment, Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung said that it takes time to disburse public investment, as it is affected by not only the Law on Public Investment, but also the Law on Construction, the Land Law, the Bidding Law, and the Mineral Law, among others.

He stressed the importance of reviewing provisions of the Law on Public Investment and other relevant laws and decisions.

The Government is taking drastic measures to boost disbursement, Dung said, expressing his hope that deputies and delegations of deputies will strengthen supervision over ministries, sectors and localities to help speed up the process.
