City leaders regularly inspect the actual progress of key projects in the area.
Disbursement rate is still low
According to the Department of Finance of Can Tho City, in 2025, Can Tho City was assigned by the Prime Minister 12,097.726 billion VND of public investment capital plan. This is the highest capital allocation in the 2021-2025 period and 1,852.631 billion VND higher than in 2024. The city has allocated detailed capital of 11,426.814 billion VND; of which, 100% of the public investment plan is assigned from the central budget of 6,264.086 billion VND and the locally managed budget of 5,162.728 billion VND. Entering the implementation of the 2025 plan, Can Tho City continues to identify the task of disbursing public investment capital as an important political task and the year to complete the public investment plan for the 2021-2025 period. Since the beginning of the year, the City People's Committee has also issued many documents directing, urging, and implementing solutions to accelerate the disbursement rate of public investment capital plans to ensure the completion of the disbursement rate according to the direction of the Prime Minister (achieving 100% of the assigned capital plan).
Localities focus on implementing solutions to promote disbursement of public investment capital. According to Mr. Nguyen Van Thang, Chairman of Phong Dien District People's Committee, to ensure the progress of public investment capital disbursement in 2025, the district requires relevant units to seriously implement the public investment plan in 2025, strictly manage the progress, quality and disbursement of investment capital of projects. At the same time, strengthen inspection, supervision, improve the efficiency of management and use of public investment capital. At the same time, focus on removing difficulties, speeding up the progress of compensation and site clearance of projects, especially key projects of the city in the district...

According to the management level, the capital entrusted to the City Social Policy Bank Branch is VND 120 billion. At the city level, there are 18 investors implementing 70 projects, disbursing VND 1,144.437 billion, reaching 13.89% of the assigned plan.

More urgent and drastic
Despite many efforts, the city's disbursement rate in the first 5 months of 2025 has not yet achieved the required results and is lower than the national average. Through the review, the City People's Committee assessed a number of reasons affecting the implementation and disbursement of public investment capital in the area. In particular, the scarcity and price increase of some raw materials (sand for filling, foundation, stone, etc.) of large and key projects of the city affect the construction progress. Compensation and support for site clearance for project construction are still slow due to problems such as determining the legality of land records; people still complain about compensation prices and resettlement policies. To ensure compliance with the organizational structure after the implementation of the arrangement and streamlining, the locality has had to temporarily stop starting new projects and is in the process of reviewing to adjust the scale and scope of project investment, leading to no further capital allocation or capital transfer to other projects. The coordination and implementation of solutions to remove difficulties and obstacles, speed up the implementation progress, and disburse public investment capital according to the direction of some investors have not been really drastic and effective. Some projects have surveys and data collection to establish investment policies and investment projects that are not accurate, leading to the need to carry out procedures to adjust investment policies and projects, taking a lot of time, affecting the balance of capital sources and the process of project implementation...
Can Tho City strives to disburse at least 45% of the assigned capital plan by the end of the second quarter of 2025. With the large amount of work and the value of disbursement of the city-wide capital plan, to achieve the set goal, it requires all levels, sectors, and investors to be urgent, upholding the sense of responsibility and public discipline.
Mr. Vo Nhut Quang, Deputy Director of the Department of Finance of Can Tho City, proposed that the People's Committees of districts and towns consider and allocate resources and human resources appropriately at this time to focus on implementing compensation, support and resettlement, especially for key projects of the city. At the same time, complete bidding procedures for newly started projects; urge the implementation of project settlement. Investors assigned with public investment capital in 2025 urgently coordinate to implement works and projects to ensure sufficient conditions for new construction and speed up the progress of projects under construction. Investors are determined to strictly handle consultants and contractors who do not meet requirements. However, in the handling process, it is necessary to objectively and comprehensively assess the causes of delays...
Mr. Truong Canh Tuyen, Chairman of Can Tho City People's Committee, requested the city's departments, branches, district and commune People's Committees and investors, according to their assigned functions, tasks and legal regulations, to proactively coordinate to overcome limitations and shortcomings leading to unsatisfactory disbursement results and take appropriate and effective measures to accelerate the disbursement progress to achieve the highest rate of the 2025 capital plan. Urgently review and promptly complete the adjustment of the public investment capital plan, adjust the investment policy to submit to the City People's Council in the upcoming thematic session...
