Standing Deputy Prime Minister Pham Gia Tuc said stalled-project remedies should be judged by actual implementation and operation at a September 30 meeting of Steering Committee 751. Resolving procedures is a step towards completion, rather than the final outcome.
The Finance Ministry recorded 5,012 troubled projects, with obstacles addressed for 3,557. Only 855 had been completed and put into operation; the others included projects continuing implementation or being revoked or terminated. The 71% resolution figure therefore does not mean 71% are operating.
