MPI TO AMEND DECREE 35 ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PPP REGULATIONS

Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha has permitted the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI) to draft amendments and supplements to Decree No.35/2021/ND-CP, which provide guidance for the implementation of the Law on Public-Private Partnership Investment.

According to the decision approved by DPM Ha on May 4, the MPI will be responsible for building the draft decree to submit to the government in September.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Finance (MoF) has been assigned to build a draft to amend Decree No.28/2021/ND-CP, providing regulations for the financial management of PPP projects. The MoF is also to complete a draft amending Decree No.69/2019/ND-CP on using public assets for payment to build-transfer projects in northern cities and provinces. The deadline to submit these two draft decrees is also September.

The MPI and the MoF will solicit opinions from the ministries of Transport, Industry and Trade, Construction, Natural Resources and Environment, among others to form the new draft decrees.

The DPM assigned the MPI to coordinate with relevant ministries in assessing the implementation of the Law on Public-Private Partnership Investment enacted in 2020 and reviewing and collecting all obstacles in the deployment process of Decree 35 in March last year.
