The Ministry of Finance has actively worked with relevant agencies to report and explain to the National Assembly Standing Committee about the Clause 1, Article 6 of the Law on Public Investment. The National Assembly Standing Committee affirmed that the Law on Public Investment and the Law on State Budget and relevant laws do not ban the use of regular expenditure to build, upgrade or expand projects that were invested and constructed. This is an important guidance to help remove obstacles relating to finance for units and localities.
