Public investment will create a solid momentum for socio-economic recovery and development after the severe and unprecedented impacts caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The disbursement of public investment is considered a lever to promote economic growth in 2023 and the following years. The work requires a drastic action, responsibility, and close coordination among all sectors and localities, focusing on closely monitoring he implementation of each project, prioritising capital allocation for projects with rapid disbursement speed, and accelerating the progress of projects, and timely solving problems in the clearance work, and speeding up the administrative reform.
