During the period, 7 ministries and central agencies, and 16 out of 34 provinces and cities recorded disbursement rates meeting or exceeding the national average.

Under the 2026 plan, the Prime Minister has allocated nearly VND995.35 trillion ($37.7 billion) in state-budget public investment capital, roughly VND93 trillion ($3.53 billion) higher than in 2025. The total includes VND345.12 trillion from the central budget and VND650.23 trillion from local budgets.

Local authorities have also added over VND12.93 trillion ($491 million) from their own balanced budgets, while VND42 billion ($1.59 million) in previously approved capital has been extended into 2026. This brings the overall public investment plan to more than VND1 quadrillion ($38 billion), underscoring the Government’s determination to leverage public spending as a key engine for economic growth, with a target of over 10% expansion this year.
