Research appropriate policies, stabilize construction material prices Regarding the issue of rising fuel and material prices, it is affecting contractors and the implementation progress of key projects. How is the price compensation and risk sharing mechanism with contractors implemented by the Ministry of Construction? Mr. Nguyen The Minh said that, as a specialized management ministry, the Ministry of Construction has advised the Prime Minister to issue an official telegram, and at the same time directly requested localities to come up with solutions to manage and stabilize material prices, strictly handle hoarding and pushing up the price of construction materials. The large change in a short time in fuel and material prices requires the announcement of local construction prices and price indexes to be timely, consistent with the market, meeting the requirements of preparing and approving estimates, adjusting contract prices, and paying contractors, Mr. Minh emphasized. Regarding the policy of adjusting construction contracts with price adjustment contracts, timely announcement of prices and price indexes from the local side plays an important role. As for fixed unit price contracts and package contracts, adjustments due to the effects of fluctuations must comply with the principles prescribed by law, including force majeure conditions. In the case of fixed unit prices and package contracts, the Ministry of Construction has issued a document requesting localities and relevant agencies to fully assess the impact. On that basis, we will synthesize and advise competent authorities to research appropriate, comprehensive policies. Consistent with the 2-digit growth target Also at the press conference, Mr. Nguyen Tri Duc, Chief of Office of the Ministry of Construction, affirmed: The Ministry of Construction is steadfast in the double-digit growth target set by the Government and believes that this is a strategic requirement to bring the country into a period of rapid, sustainable development. To achieve this goal, the Ministry of Construction has continued to optimize investment efficiency. Faced with the reality of high input costs, each project is required to more carefully calculate socio-economic efficiency, regional spread, and connectivity to serve growth goals. The Ministry determines that infrastructure development plays a major role in leading growth through maintaining a high disbursement rate of public investment capital (reaching over 95%), promoting growth in other fields, creating confidence to attract private capital, activating social capital flows, and improving production capacity. of the economy in the medium and long term. The restructuring of the Construction industry continues to be carried out in a modern and sustainable direction, promoting the development of new materials, energy saving, digital transformation in design, construction and project management. The Ministry of Construction also proactively regulates the market and stabilizes major balances by coordinating with ministries, branches and localities to strengthen control of the market for construction materials, real estate, ensuring reasonable supply and demand... while maximizing the role of institutions, decentralization, and decentralization.
