HANOI, Dec. 7 (Xinhua) -- Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh issued an official dispatch urging faster disbursement of public investment before year-end, the Vietnam News Agency reported Sunday.
The document underscored the government's push to sustain economic momentum, maintain macroeconomic stability, and create jobs.
Finance Ministry data showed that 553.25 trillion Vietnamese dong (about 21.99 billion U.S. dollars) had been disbursed from January to November, accounting for only 60.6 percent of the prime minister's annual target.
The prime minister ordered relevant departments to take drastic measures and to fully utilize public investment to bolster macroeconomic stability. ■
