In 2026, Can Tho must spend more than 30,000 billion VND on public investment.

TPO - Faced with the current situation that some units are slow to carry out investment procedures for public investment projects next year and in the 2026-2030 period, which may affect the city's investment and capital disbursement work, the leader of the Can Tho City People's Committee requested that new projects scheduled to start construction in 2026 must complete approval procedures before November 5.

Can Tho City People's Committee assessed that many projects under the public investment plan for next year and medium-term capital for the period 2026 - 2030 have been directed to prepare investment procedures. However, the progress of implementation at some units is still slow, especially the Management Board of Investment Projects for Construction of Traffic and Agricultural Works - the unit assigned many important projects with large capital scale but has not completed the documents to submit to competent authorities according to regulations, affecting the general investment work of the city.

In order to promptly implement the 2026 public investment capital plan, the Chairman of the Can Tho City People's Committee requested that agencies and units assigned to carry out investment procedures for projects urgently complete the required documents. New projects expected to start construction next year must complete approval procedures before November 5, so that the People's Committee can submit them to the City People's Council for consideration and decision on capital plan allocation at the year-end meeting.

Relevant departments are required to shorten the time for document appraisal, the Department of Finance urges units to implement, synthesize and advise the People's Committee to submit to the City People's Council. The Department of Home Affairs is assigned to preside over clarifying responsibilities and organizing reviews of units that do not complete tasks according to the assigned schedule.

It is expected that Can Tho's public investment plan for 2026 will be more than 30,000 billion VND, of which the central budget will be nearly 14,100 billion VND and the local budget will be more than 15,900 billion VND.

According to the Can Tho Department of Finance, in 2025, the total public investment plan of the City after consolidation is over 30,100 billion VND. As of October 27, the disbursement has only reached over 10,000 billion VND, or more than 34% of the plan.
