The Government has identified this as a key political task, the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Ministers regularly inspect and remove obstacles in localities and key projects. Decision 2773/QD-TTg has just been issued to transfer capital from low-disbursement units to units with urgent needs, in parallel with promoting mechanism amendments, digitizing approval, payment and settlement processes.
However, progress is still slow due to many reasons. Some localities after the merger have not yet completed their apparatus, lack specialized management boards; many places are stuck with site clearance, material prices are high, and land, construction and environmental procedures are still inadequate. The Ministry of Construction, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Education and Training and the Ministry of Health all acknowledged the low disbursement rate, and pledged to speed up progress in the fourth quarter, especially with key projects, ODA and essential infrastructure.

Can Tho: Traffic project with capital of more than 7,200 billion VND stuck in site clearance
The project to upgrade and expand National Highway 91 (section Km0 - Km7) in Can Tho City has a total investment of more than 7,238 billion VND, started on September 22, 2025, and is currently facing many difficulties in compensation, support and resettlement.

| The project to upgrade and expand National Highway 91 (section from Km0 - Km7), Can Tho City was started on September 22, 2025. |
The main reasons are the delay in approving land prices, the lack of specific regulations on compensation for some construction items, the lack of resettlement land prices and the big difference between the policies of the old project and the new project. Many households have received money since 2011 but have not yet handed over the land, while the resettlement areas are still not completed.
The project is over 7 km long, designed with 6 lanes, Binh Thuy bridge is 145 m long and has a synchronous technical infrastructure system. This is a key traffic project of Can Tho, expected to be completed in December 2027, using central and local budget capital.
