2 waste-to-energy projects in Ho Chi Minh City at standstill after 4 years
Two waste-to-energy projects in Ho Chi Minh City have yet to be completed although work on them started in 2019 and they were expected to treat thousands of metric tons of garbage starting in 2020.

Therefore, banks related to this package have not been able to provide loans sourced from this package to investors and buyers in such projects, the ministry said. The second reason that blocked the disbursement of the package is that most of these projects have yet to be ready for implementation as they remain in the completion stage for investment procedures. Earlier, at a recent conference on building one … [Read more...] about Construction ministry explains why $5.14bn credit package yet to be disbursed
