After adjustment, the updated plan is 107,134.7 billion VND, 19,441 billion VND higher than the level assigned by the Prime Minister .

Despite strong leadership and direction, the disbursement result by October 20 only reached 44,428 billion VND, equivalent to 51% of the central plan and 41.5% of the city plan. As of October 31, the expected disbursement reached 55.6% of the central plan.

According to Director of the Department of Finance Nguyen Xuan Luu, the pressure to disburse in the last two months of 2025 is very large. The city needs to complete the disbursement of an additional VND 43,000 billion to reach 100% of the central capital plan and disburse more than VND 62,700 billion. to complete the capital plan allocated by the city.

The reason for the slow disbursement is clearly due to problems in compensation and site clearance - the stage that accounts for a large proportion of the projects. According to statistics, there are 358 projects implemented by communes and wards facing difficulties in site clearance; along with that, the price of construction materials has increased, the work of planning appraisal and project adjustment is still prolonged...

Commitment to remove difficulties and complete the plan

At the conference, leaders of the city's five project management boards (PMUs) pointed out difficulties that have caused performance results to be below average.

According to the report of the Department of Finance, the Management Board of Traffic Construction Investment Projects still needs to disburse 14,185 billion VND. The Management Board of Civil Construction Investment Projects still needs to disburse 3,160 billion VND. Meanwhile, the Management Board of Technical Infrastructure and Agricultural Construction Investment Projects needs to disburse 1,725 billion VND... The leaders of the boards all committed to overcoming difficulties and disbursing 100% of capital.

At the grassroots level, Vice Chairman of Dong Anh Commune People's Committee Nguyen Cong Phuoc proposed that the city soon decentralize the acceptance and handover of works to shorten the settlement time.
