Nearly 154 trillion VND of public investment capital has been disbursed from the beginning of the year until May 7th, reaching 15.2% of the plan assigned by the Prime Minister . Of this, 27 ministries and agencies and 18 localities have disbursement rates below the national average.

This year's capital plan is 22.7% higher than the 2025 capital plan; at the same time, the extended holiday period at the end of April has temporarily slowed down the construction progress and disbursement of funds for projects. Other reasons include difficulties in land clearance; and a shortage of construction materials, leading to cost discrepancies. According to recent directives from Prime Minister Le Minh Hung, if any ministries, sectors, or localities have not yet allocated public investment capital in detail, they must report the reasons and the collective and individual responsibilities to the Ministry of Finance before May 15th for compilation and proposal to the competent authority for handling the funds according to regulations.

Specifically, the total public investment plan using state budget funds for 2026, as assigned by the Prime Minister, is VND 1,013,443.4 billion; including: central government budget funds of VND 363,216.8 billion and local government budget funds of VND 650,226.6 billion.

The total capital allocated by ministries, central agencies, and localities for detailed tasks and projects is VND 984,514.9 billion (including VND 331,286 billion from the central budget and VND 653,228.9 billion from the local budget). Excluding the additional capital allocated by localities from the local budget (VND 13,325.9 billion), the total allocated capital is VND 971,189 billion, reaching 95.8% of the capital plan assigned by the Prime Minister.
