The Prime Minister (PM) highlighted the causes of delayed disbursement such as contractor’s capability, land clearance, disbursement procedures, etc.. The PM also applauded the proactive actions of ministries, departments and localities, including the use of alternative resources in the context of the budget under difficult circumstances.
The PM affirmed that in the coming time, ODA and preferential capital still plays a very important role in socio-economic development. However, besides the use of capital resource and technology, the private enterprises should be encouraged to take part in projects and works that are feasible.
