Vietnam’s Finance Minister Faces Parliamentary Questions for the First Time, with Focus on Public Investment

On the morning of November 12, Vietnam’s National Assembly is scheduled to question Finance Minister Ngô Văn Tuấn for the first time. The topics cover public investment, project financing, taxes on digital platform activities and business operations. The scheduled questioning covers four areas involving the finance ministry’s allocation, use and management of funds.

Public investment is the first topic. Ngô Văn Tuấn will explain the allocation, management and progress of disbursing public investment funds in 2026, and how this work aligns with the medium-term public investment plan. He will also explain the causes of slow disbursement, who is responsible and what measures are planned to improve progress, particularly on major works and projects.

On financing, National Assembly deputies will question the minister about official development assistance, concessional loans and investment funds raised through public-private partnerships. Their questions will focus on difficulties in raising, allocating and using these funds, as well as ways to improve their effectiveness.

The remaining two topics concern tax administration for e-commerce and business activities on digital platforms, and ways to help businesses and household businesses overcome difficulties and promote economic growth. Ngô Văn Tuấn will answer questions about the relevant administrative measures and support plans.
