According to the Ministry of Finance, in just 1 week from June 26 to July 2, the disbursed capital amount was 61,447.7 billion VND, an increase of 1.7 times compared to the disbursed amount incurred in the previous week (from June 19-25, 35,273 billion VND was disbursed).
According to the latest updated data from the Ministry of Finance, as of July 2, disbursement of public investment capital has reached 360,948.7 billion VND, reaching 35.8% of the plan assigned by the Prime Minister. This figure is higher than the level reported by the Ministry of Finance at the Government's regular meeting in June 2026 (over 356,935 billion VND, reaching 35.5% of the plan assigned by the Prime Minister).
Looking at the overall results shows that the disbursement progress continues to be maintained at a fairly good level in the context of a very large volume of capital. However, behind the positive signals are still a series of bottlenecks in terms of land, materials, human resources and implementation organization, making the journey to bring public investment capital to the finish line still challenging. Increased material prices, shortage of stone and sand sources, and unfavorable weather also affect the progress of many projects.
Chief of Office of the Ministry of Construction Lam Van Hoang said that regarding the deployment of investment and construction of transport projects, from the beginning of 2026 to now, for projects under the Ministry of Construction and key projects managed by localities, 6/10 projects have been started, 4/34 projects have been completed. The expressway alone has put into operation 395 km of expressway, connecting the entire North-South expressway in the East, raising the total number of expressways to 3,345 km; new construction of 219 km and upgrading of 212 km of national highways. Besides some localities performing well, site clearance is still slow, and implementation progress is slow.
According to the Chief of the Ministry of Construction Office, the reasons are obstacles in site clearance, lack of material supply; some projects have contractors slowing down construction; limited investor selection and construction organization, leading to low disbursement of public investment capital.
In 2026, the Ministry of Construction was assigned a public investment capital plan of 137.258 billion VND, of which about 101.145 billion VND (accounting for 76%) is allocated to 2 railway projects. The Ministry has also completed the review and development of the list and capital needs of the Medium-term Public Investment Plan for the period 2026-2030 with a total need of about 1,289.164 billion VND. Not counting the capital being proposed for adjustment by competent authorities, the Ministry has disbursed 22.6% (10. 527/46. 555 billion VND).
Speaking at the preliminary conference of the first 6 months of 2026 of the Ministry of Construction, Minister of Construction Tran Hong Minh said that from now until the end of 2026, the disbursed capital source is still very large, of which the Ministry of Construction alone has about 30,000 billion VND. It is requested that agencies, units, and localities continue to closely monitor the developments of the situation, synchronously and effectively implement tasks and solutions in all aspects of work, and implement some key tasks.
For slow-progressing and slow-disbursing projects, the Ministry of Construction requests investors and localities to focus on removing difficulties and obstacles, accelerating the implementation and completion progress. Prioritize focusing on completing key and important national infrastructure systems, especially synchronous connection between expressways and airports, seaports, accelerating the implementation of high-speed railway projects, urban railways, and railway lines connecting with China; promote the progress of urban railway investment in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, striving to accelerate the implementation of Long Thanh, Gia Binh, Phu Quoc... International Airports projects... ready to serve APEC 2027. Focus on completing ongoing expressway projects, accelerating preparation and investment in expressway lines according to planning, striving to complete the target of 5,000 km of expressway sooner than the 2030 milestone.
Requesting investors, Project Management Boards, localities, and contractors to focus on accelerating construction progress, completing procedures, preparing conditions for starting new projects; strengthening quality control, completing payment and finalization dossiers, striving to complete 100% disbursement of public investment capital and key project investment capital. Taking the disbursement results of public investment capital and project implementation progress as one of the important criteria for allocating public investment capital plans for the following years and evaluating and ranking the level of task completion of collectives and individuals, especially heads.
