According to the report of the Ministry of Finance , the total state budget public investment plan for 2025 assigned by the Prime Minister is more than 897,000 billion VND. The total capital allocated by ministries, central agencies and localities is more than 871,000 billion VND, reaching 97.1% of the capital plan assigned by the Prime Minister. The result of public investment capital disbursement from the beginning of the year to October 16, 2025 is 454,946.6 billion VND, reaching 50.7% of the plan assigned by the Prime Minister. Of which, 9 ministries, central agencies and 16 localities have disbursement rates above the national average.

Under the drastic management, the work of arranging and disbursing public investment capital has achieved many outstanding results. State budget capital is focused on key infrastructure projects, highways, airports, high-speed railways, creating new development momentum for regions and localities. Since the beginning of the year, the whole country has completed more than 455km of highways; started construction of 364km of new highways, aiming to complete the target of 3,000km by the end of 2025.

However, there are still 29 ministries, central agencies and 18 localities with disbursement rates below the national average. Among them, the reasons affecting the progress of disbursement of public investment capital are: some localities have not yet completed their personnel and apparatus in time when switching to a 2-level government organization model; the capacity of commune-level investors is weak, not familiar with the public investment management process. Some policy mechanisms related to implementation still have some problems arising from practice; difficulties in compensation and site clearance; scarcity of construction materials, price fluctuations...

At the conference, some localities that were allocated large capital and disbursed higher than the national average shared their experiences and effective methods. In addition, central ministries, branches and localities with low disbursement clarified difficulties and obstacles, and proposed recommendations to complete the disbursement of allocated capital.

Mr. Truong Canh Tuyen, Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee, Chairman of Can Tho City People's Committee, spoke at the conference.

In Can Tho City alone, the disbursement of public investment capital reached nearly 35% of the plan assigned by the Prime Minister . Based on the analysis of difficulties and obstacles, the city proposed solutions and resolutely implemented them to accelerate the disbursement of public investment capital in 2025.

Speaking at the conference, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized: To achieve the growth target of more than 8% in 2025, creating momentum, creating momentum, creating force for double-digit growth in the following years, one of the growth drivers is investment, including public investment. Each completed project brings joy and happiness to the people, contributing to the development of the country.

With the above meaning, the Prime Minister requested the leaders of ministries, branches, agencies and localities to identify the disbursement of public investment capital as one of the top important political tasks. Continue to promote the sense of responsibility of the head, focus on leadership, direction, strengthen inspection, supervision, and remove difficulties to organize the implementation of public investment disbursement to complete 100%. Assign tasks according to the 6 clear principles: "clear people, clear work, clear time, clear responsibility, clear products, clear results" of the project. Urgently allocate the capital plan that has been assigned but has not yet been allocated in detail according to regulations. The Ministry of Finance monitors and coordinates with ministries, branches and localities to promptly transfer capital from slow-disbursing projects to good-disbursing projects and projects in need of additional capital according to regulations before October 25, 2025. Review the disbursement status of each project, develop appropriate capital disbursement solutions; Build a disbursement schedule for each week and each month. Mobilize the entire political system to participate and be resolute in compensation and site clearance work. Strictly handle investors, project management boards, and contractors who intentionally cause difficulties and hinder the progress of capital allocation and disbursement; review and promptly handle weak and negative officials who do not complete assigned tasks. The Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, and People's Committees of provinces and cities focus on removing difficulties and obstacles in the exploitation of minerals that are common construction materials to ensure supply for projects, especially key transport infrastructure projects and important national projects.
